Sausage and Wild Rice Casserole



From the kitchen of Dylan Dam, Associate Attorney


This recipe came down to Dylan from Eric Rasmussen, a cousin of Dylan's grandfather. Eric was a farmer in central Nebraska and served as a state senator in the Nebraska Legislature in the 1960s. Eric passed away when Dylan was young, but he had the chance to meet him a few times. "I remember Eric being a warm and friendly person," said Dylan. "This recipe of his is simple, and it serves as a great side dish for Thanksgiving or any other meal throughout the year.
