This sausage casserole is a perfect weeknight dinner. Throw some diced bell pepper and onion in one pan, sausage in another and let Suvie cook this delicious meal for you. All that’s left to do is toss it all together with some cheese when Suvie’s finished and you’ve got a crowd-pleasing dinner ready to go. This recipe is also leftover approved! Feel free to use any type of sausage you like for this recipe; we used sweet Italian sausages.

I bought the ingredients for this before I realized this was a 1.0 recipe. Any help on converting this to 3.0 and new Starchie would be appreciated. Thank you.
Hi Sonya, you should be able to still Sous Vide the sausages and vegetables with the same settings (160°F for 1 hour). You may need to broil the vegetables after to get them fully softened. Cook the rice according to Starchie brown rice instructions. Hope that helps!
