Southern Rice Dressing

• 2 garlic bulbs
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 2 cups cooked regular rice
• 1 (16-ounce) package ground pork sausage
• 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 1 medium-size red or green bell pepper, diced
• 1 large carrot, diced
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
• 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh or 1 to 2 teaspoons rubbed sage
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 4 cups chicken broth

1. Cut off pointed ends of garlic bulbs; place garlic on a piece of aluminum foil, and drizzle with olive oil. Fold foil to seal.
2. Bake at 350u0b0 for 45 minutes; cool. Squeeze pulp from garlic cloves into a large bowl. Add rice and cornbread.
3. Cook sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring until it crumbles and is no longer pink; drain sausage on paper towels, and wipe skillet clean.
4. Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and carrot, and saute 3 minutes or until tender.
5. Stir sausage, vegetables, parsley, and next 4 ingredients into rice mixture. Add broth; stir to moisten. Spoon into a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish. Cover and chill 8 hours, if desired; remove from refrigerator, and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
6. Bake, covered, at 350u0b0 for 45 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
