Ingredients

• 1 pound Italian sausage
• 1 medium white onion
• 1 medium green bell pepper
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 cup white rice
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 2 cans condensed tomato soup
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Remove the sausage casings if needed, then crumble and cook sausage in the skillet until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease and set aside.

Step 4

While the sausage cooks, dice the onion and green bell pepper, and mince the garlic.

Step 5

In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion and green bell pepper for 3-4 minutes, or until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Step 6

Stir in the uncooked rice, cooking for 1-2 minutes to lightly toast the grains.

Step 7

Pour in the chicken broth, and stir to combine. Cook for 5 minutes, letting the mixture simmer.

Step 8

Add the cooked sausage back to the skillet, followed by the condensed tomato soup, oregano, basil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly combined.

Step 9

Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and spread it evenly.

Step 10

Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.

Step 11

Carefully remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top, and return the dish to the oven.

Step 12

Bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Step 13

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
