Microwave Sausage and Wild Rice
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 25 min.
YIELD: 4 servings.
This hot dish is convenient because it's made in the microwave. It has nice flavor and looks good, too. Even though I've been making it for more than 10 years, I still get requests for it.—Mary Bondegard, Brooksville, Florida
