(TOP SECRET) Sausage Rice Casserole

From the Kitchen of Lynn Sprague

As my mom tells it, she was informed by the giver that this recipe is absolutely, positively, TOP SECRET.
However, that was over 40 years ago, and I suspect the statute of limitations ran out some time ago. In any case, if anybody asks, YOU DIDN'T GET THIS FROM ME.

• 1 pound cooked bulk sausage (Parks or Jimmy Dean is OK)
• 1 cup uncooked Rice
• 1 box Lipton Noodle Soup with Real Chicken Broth

Put sausage in bottom of large casserole dish.  Sprinkle 1 envelope of soup mix, then 1/2 cup of rice, then other envelope of soup mix, then rest of rice.  Add 4+1/2 cups of Hot Water. Cover, cook at 350° for 1 hour.
