Here's a recipe that makes a terrific side dish, but I also serve it as a main dish along with corn bread. Make ahead, the casserole is easy to reheat in the microwave when you arrive at your potluck meal. —Debbie Jones, California, Maryland

Ingredients

1 pound mild bulk pork sausage
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 medium onions, chopped

2 cups boiling water
1 to 2 jalapeno peppers, finely minced and seeded
1 package (6-1/4 ounces) fast-cooking long grain and wild rice mix

In a large skillet, cook the sausage, cumin and garlic powder over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add onions and green peppers; saute until crisp-tender.
