Wild Rice Mushroom & Sausage Casserole

My husband worked late the other night so I decided to make something I love and he won't eat, he is a mushroom hater. This casserole is super easy and can be made into a casserole or eaten as is. It's also fairly easy to make it a bit healthier by substituting things like turkey sausage for regular sausage, which I always do. I really enjoy how simple this recipe is but how full of flavor it is, that's why I make it when my husband isn't home because I refuse to never get to eat things I like just because he doesn't.
