Easy Sausage and Rice Casserole is simple to make and big on flavor! Sausage, rice, celery, and onions all bake in a creamy sauce and the result will wow the entire family!
It has been a while since I have made a casserole on the blog. I am not sure why!? My family loves a good casserole! If yours does too, try this creamy sausage pasta bake. Everything cooks together in one dish, including the pasta!
When I had my baby last summer, our neighbor brought us this casserole. OMG, it was so good and our entire family devoured it. It is one of those recipes that you have to hunt down and make again and again. My family is always asking me to make this now and I wanted to share it with you!
This recipe is such a classic and I remember having it before. But the one that my neighbor brought was THE BEST. It might be the extra addition of slivered almonds on the top? Whatever it was, this casserole came together so well and the flavor was incredible.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 2-quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
Add 1 pound pork sausage to a medium skillet over medium-high heat and cook for 3-4 minutes, until most of the pink is gone. Add 1 cup diced onion, 1 cup diced celery, and 2 teaspoons minced garlic and cook for 4-5 minutes longer, until the vegetables are tender and the sausage is no longer pink.
Add the sausage mixture, 1 (14.5-ounce) can chicken broth, 1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of celery soup, and 1 cup uncooked long grain rice to a large bowl and mix until combined.
Pour into the prepared casserole dish and top with ¼ cup slivered almonds. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 60 minutes.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
