"This is a lost and found recipe. I originally found it in 1988, on the back of a package of smoked sausage. I made it quite often for my husband and me, with leftovers for the next days lunch. Then we moved, again, and the recipe got lost. I looked everywhere. I had tried to make it a few times, but couldn't remember everything that went in it, and it was wrong. Just wrong. In 1999, my husband's mother gave me a promotional copy of Quick Cooking magazine that she had received in the mail. I was so excited to find what appeared to be the exact recipe that I had lost, submitted by one of their contributors! After preparing it for my family, I knew I was right -- I had found our long-lost favorite! The original recipe merely specified cheddar cheese, but I find we like it better, and can use less, if I use extra sharp cheddar."

directions
- In a deep skillet (choose one that has a lid), combine soup, water and butter; bring to a boil.
- Add sausage and rice.
- Reduce heat; cover and simmer about 18 minutes or until rice is almost tender.
- Stir in peas and mushrooms.
- Cover and simmer 15 minutes more, or until rice is tender and peas are heated through.
- Sprinkle with cheese and cover.
- Let stand about 5 minutes, until cheese melts.
- NOTE: I've tried this with Cream of Mushroom soup and nobody liked it-- the Cream of Celery is essential to the flavor.

Super supper!I did not have the same issues as some other commentors with bland flavor. I think this is because I browned the kielbasa first in the butter before adding the other ingredients. Also, instead of using canned cream of celery, I made it from recipe #115798 (which obviously took a bit longer - but not much - and it was *soooo* good) .Thank you TBG!

I loved this! I used spinach instead of mushrooms and peas since that is what I had on hand. Next time I will try the recipe as written. Great base recipe as you could change the veggies. This is definitely a keeper! Thanks for posting!

We loved this so much! I'm not normally that keen on peas, but I devoured this! I totally believe that the celery soup makes the difference as it added the most amazing flavour to this easy to make dish!

We really liked this. I made a couple of adjustments. I sauted a chopped onion and the sausage in a large skillet and then added a few cloves of garlic. I then continued on a directed using chicken broth instead of water. I used cream of onion soup and we liked it. I served the cheese at the table so everyone would get some and to entice my little ones to eat it.
