Dirty Rice

I brown Savoies Dressing Mix, 1lb ground pork and 1lb of ground beef. When its done browning I take it out of the pot and brown 2 onions, a bell pepper and a couple stalks of celery . When my trinity is cooked down I add the meat back to the pot and a couple toes of garlic. Cover it with water and bring it to a light boil, turn it to a simmer, skim the grease off the top and cook it down till most of the liquid cooks out. I then add half a bunch of green onions and cook that for about 3-4 minutes then add cool cooked rice to it till my wife tells me to stop.

Get a lb or so combined of chicken/pork liver, chicken hearts, and chicken gizzards. Put it on a food processor then add it to your ground pork/beef. I've also browned the organ meat first then ran it through the food processor. I think that work a little better.

Call HEBERT'S Meat Market in Maurice La. Ask them to ship you 5 or 6 pints of their Rice Dressing "mix" (we don't say Dirt Rice down here).

They will ship it to you. As for cooking it, put a pint in a dutch oven on top the stove on simmer. Add one pound of ground pork and 1 chopped yellow onion. Simmer for another 45 minutes, stirring every now and then. Next, cook 2.5 cups of raw rice. Once ready, add cooked rice to dutch oven, along with 1 chopped green onion. Mix well, turn off fire and put top on dutch oven for about 20 minutes....

Viola!

Don't need to use Roux with the dressing mix from Hebert's. Its already in the mix, along with ground liver and gizzards and god knows what else the put in there.

1 lb. ground pork
1 lb. ground beef

1/4 -1/2 cup (about 4 - 8 oz.) container chicken liver
1 (16 oz) container gizzards
1 bell pepper
1 onion

Make a small roux, need at least one cup.
Grind livers, gizzards, onions and bell peppers.
When roux is made add your ground meat to the roux. Then add ground up ingredients.
Add seasoning and cook for about one hour.
Add water as needed as for it not to stick. If you want a bigger dressing
just increase the amount of ingredients and roux.

So good, it posted twice

Order Bourque's rice dressing mix from Bourque's in Port Barre. Very good.

When I make it I cook 4 cups of raw rice. I add most of it to the mix. Our meat portions are about the same.

How much rice you add to that?

About 3-4 cups. Depends on how moist/dry you want it.
I go by site, I like mine rather moist so I may not as much rice as someone else
