Cheesy Broccoli Rice Bake

I had some broccoli from the farmer's market to use up (it was getting a little sad looking) so I found this yummy casserole recipe. It was pretty easy to through together and didn't have to cook really long. It turned out really good, especially with the added sausage to make it more of a main dish. Use light and low-fat ingredients for a lighter dish.
