For a richer flavor, use Italian sausage or a blend of sweet and hot sausage. To prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the casserole dish, consider adding a thin layer of olive oil before adding the mixture. Feel free to add other vegetables such as carrots, mushrooms, or zucchini to the casserole. If you don't have chicken noodle soup mix, you can substitute it with chicken broth and a blend of dried herbs like thyme, rosemary, and sage.
