How to Make Six Layer Casserole

  1. Brown 1 lb Italian sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off excess grease.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
  3. Spread the cooked sausage evenly across the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
  4. Layer 1 cup cooked rice over the sausage.
  5. Layer 2 medium potatoes, thinly sliced, over the rice.
  6. Layer 1 medium onion, thinly sliced, over the potatoes.
  7. Layer 1 cup shredded carrots over the onion.
  8. Top with 1 (28 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes, including the juice.
  9. Add enough tomato juice (or water) to reach about halfway up the layers.
  10. In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon sugar. Sprinkle evenly over the top.
  11. Cover the casserole dish with a lid or aluminum foil.
  12. Bake for 1 ½ to 2 hours, or until bubbly and heated through. Add a splash of water or tomato juice if it seems too dry during baking.
  13. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
