I really like this dish which is from Taste of Home.

Baked Rice with Sausage

2 lbs bulk Italian sausage

4 celery ribs, thinly sliced

1 large onion, chopped

1 large green pepper, chopped

4-1/2 cups water

3/4 cup dry chicken noodle soup mix (1-1/2 envelopes)

1 can condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted

1 cup uncooked long grain rice

1/4 cup dry bread crumbs

2 T butter or margarine, melted

Preheat oven to 350.

In a large skillet, cook sausage, celery, green pepper and onion over medium heat until sausage is no longer pink and vegetables are tender. Drain.

In a large saucepan bring water to a boil, add dry soup mix. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes or until noodles are tender. Stir in canned soup, rice and sausage mixture. Mix well.

Transfer into a greased 9x13 baking dish. Cover and bake for 40 minutes.

Toss bread crumbs and butter and sprinkle over rice mixture. Bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes or until rice is tender.

Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
