Rice Sausage Casserole - Jenny S.

I really liked the overall flavor of this dish.  I made one big mistake.  In the era this recipe book was printed I don't know how often they could get pre-spiced sausage.  I remember mom always adding her own blend of spice.  I purchased Jimmy Dean original sausage thinking it would be ok.  I was wrong.  If unseasoned is available it might be better.  With the salt in the sausage, celery, and the soup it was too much salt.  I even left out the dash of salt.  I would make this again because my grandchildren ate it well and I liked it to.  The soup has just enough color so the casserole was pleasing and appetizing.
