Spicy Cheesy Rice Casserole

There is this recipe that I got from my grandma that she has been using for over 25 years. The family loves it, so I thought I would make it yesterday. Oops, didn't have all the right ingredients. What I ended up making was a HIT! So I thought I would share...

Spicy Cheesy Rice Casserole

I made 5 cups of brown rice in our rice cooker

In a skillet, brown 2 lbs Bob Evans sausage.

Once it is browned, add:
1 lb. frozen broccoli
1 lb. Velveeta Cheese
15 oz can Evaporated Milk
8 oz fresh salsa

Simmer on low until cheese is melted and broccoli is cooked.
Add rice and mix thoroughly.

My little brother likes this best not mixed together.
His choice: Pack 3/4 c. measuring cup tightly with rice and carefully turn out (like a sand castle), then pour the cheesy broccoli over the rice.
He calls it "Cheesy Rice Castle-roll"!
