Seven Layer Dinner

I learned to make this after enjoying it at a friend’s house. Seven Layer Dinner has potatoes, onions, carrots, rice, peas, sausages, and tomato soup, with some salt and pepper for seasoning. It smells amazing in the oven and is a very comforting winter casserole for all ages.


Ingredients

3-5 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
1 onion, thinly sliced
2-3 carrots, thinly sliced
1/2 cup uncooked white rice
2 cups peas, frozen
1 pound chicken breakfast sausage
1 32 oz. carton creamy tomato soup
Salt and pepper to taste


Directions

Rub some olive oil around a deep casserole dish. Layer the potatoes, onions and carrots in the dish with a bit of salt and pepper. Add a layer of rice and then peas, then a bit more salt and pepper.

Arrange the sausages over top. Pour the tomato soup evenly over the casserole.

Cover and bake at 350°F for 1 hour, then turn the sausages over and bake for 1 more hour, until vegetables are tender and rice is cooked.

Scoop all the way down to grab all the layers when serving your delicious seven layer dinner!
