How to Make Salsa Rice Sausage Casserole in a Crock Pot

Aunt Lou here.

This Crock Pot Salsa Rice Sausage Casserole recipe is the crock pot version of a family favorite recipe that is made on a stove top. (You can find the stove top version of this recipe here.) I love having different ways to make recipes. This cooks up quickly since everything is cooked and you are just giving all the flavors time to meld together and the cheese to melt in the crock pot (kind of like when you throw a casserole in the oven for a short cooking time). I know my 4 quart slow cooker cooks hot, so I was watching it closely. Right around the 45 minute mark, all my cheese was melted. If I would have left it for another 15 minutes, the cheese would have burned at the edges. So, be sure and watch it closely the first time you make it.

There are very few ingredients in this recipe and not too make steps. That makes this recipe great for beginners to try out. I normally wouldn’t say that about a crock pot recipe that has rice in it, but this recipe uses cooked minute rice, not a lot of liquid and doesn’t cook long. So, that makes it just about as safe as you can get with rice in the crock pot. Regardless of whether you are a newbie to cooking or have been cooking for years and years, I hope you enjoy this delicious dish as much as I do!
