1 lb. ground sausage (we like Jimmy Dean)
4 c. hot water
1 c. rice (raw)
1 pkg. Lipton's noodle soup
slivered almonds if desired

Cook sausage until done and pour off grease. In a 2 quart casserole dish, put cooked sausage, hot water, noodle soup and raw rice. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or in the microwave for 20–25 minutes. Almonds on top when served and we like parmesan cheese sprinkled on top also. Easy!!
