I LOVE CASSEROLES! Casseroles, to me, are the ultimate comfort food. This recipe came from the Heaven's Bounty cookbook and my Nana wrote beside it "Good." So it was time to test that theory. I will admit, when it came out of the oven, I was a little nervous. However, it was delicious! It makes a lot so be prepared for leftovers! Again, in an attempt to lighten it up a little I used turkey sausage. The recipe goes a little like this:

Ingredients for Sausage & Rice Casserole are above, with the exception of some water. A very easy recipe with only 8 ingredients!

Picture
Start by preheating your oven to 325 degrees. Brown package of turkey sausage over medium heat then drain off excess fat. I used mild sausage, but if you like a little heat get that hot sausage!
Picture
Lightly grease a 13x9 casserole dish
Picture
Add in 1 cup uncooked rice. Be sure it goes on the bottom so it has the opportunity to cook all the way through. 
Picture
Add in 10.5 oz can of Cream of Chicken soup
Picture
Then a 10.5oz can of Cream of Mushroom soup
Picture

Now take one of the soup cans and fill it with water and pour water into the casserole dish with the other ingredients.

Picture
Chop up 1 cup of celery.....and 1/2 cup of onion
Picture
Add in all the remaining ingredients, so celery, onion and turkey sausage.
Picture
And don't forget your seasoning! 
Bake for 2 hours at 325 degrees and you get this lovely product below!

​I'll admit when the casserole came out of the oven, I freaked a bit. I could see pieces of rice on top that were quite crispy. But when you scoop out a portion, you see all that tender rice under there! This recipe makes 8-10 servings, so thankfully this makes really great leftovers. ENJOY!

Barbecue cups have always been one of my favorite meals! That flaky biscuit with the sweet barbecue meat is just PERFECTION! Growing up on a cattle farm means that we always had lotsssss of ground beef on hand. My mom was always looking for creative ways to use up some of that beef and this recipe is great.

Church cookbooks are literally the bread and butter of the South. This cookbook, which has a photo of my Nana on it, is my all-time favorite! I grew up with my mom and Nana making lots of recipes from this cookbook. Not only did they make recipes from it, they also contributed quite a few recipes. This barbecue cups recipe came from the Heaven's Bounty ​cookbook. It goes a little like this:
Picture
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Start by browning your ground turkey in a pan over medium heat. 
Picture
Once you've browned your meat and drained off the excess grease. Measure out 1/2 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce. 
Picture
Picture
Add barbecue sauce and 1 tablespoon....
...make that 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of minced onion (not pictured)
Picture
Now mix all that goodness together! 
Picture
It's time to pop open those flaky biscuits and mold them into your lightly greased muffin tin (So the recipe my mom uses says an ungreased muffin tin, but I'm too afraid to try that). Be sure your biscuits come over the edges of the cups.
Picture
Load up those biscuits with that delicious looking meat mixture
Picture
Top with grated cheese, if you think you've added enough, then just keep sprinkling. Throw those beauties in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits puff up. Once they come out of the oven, it's time to ENJOY!
