I'm looking for a good cajun rice dressing recipe to make for Christmas. I know some of you good people have a great recipe.

Please keep in mind, I'm not able to get some authentic cajun ingredients - notably andouille sausage -- here in Florida.

Any help is appreciated and Merry Christmas!

My wife makes it. It is one of her gigs so I don't know exactly but I've never had one with andouille. I'll say this, chicken livers are a must. Use Stadium Rats recipe and add chicken livers.

There is nothing in it that cannot be found anywhere in the world. A mixture of ground beef and chicken livers finely chopped are at the heart of it. The trinity sauteed is the soul of the dish. Two lbs of beef browned. 8 ozs of liver, brown the beef then add the livers and cook until every bit of moisture can be wrung out of it. Mix the trinity with it, and then fold in the rice until you eyes tell you it is done. Chopped green onions are just a garnish for appearances sake.

This sounds perfect, except, wouldn't you finely dice the livers at some point, or do they cook down? I have to admit, I've been cheating, starting here and doctoring it up:

That Savoie's mix is good stuff...Add some additional fresh bell pepper & onion, use ground pork, and use more mix than the directions call for.

What ever you choose cook your rice the day before or at least a few hours before. It mixes better with the dressing mix. I also add a good bit of chopped fresh parsley to my rice and little more salt than normal.

This is also good advice. I like to let the rice stay in the fridge overnight, as I find it mixes better. Skillet, I made a batch with some venison pan sausage last week and my kids told me they liked it better, so that might be the new MO.

Never had a written recipe.
And so many variations meat wise..

In the summer I make ground beef and eggplant..

But for Christmas its always been like Maw Maw taught me.
Ground pork and Chicken Gizzards with just a little liver added.
Boil your gizzards first in seasoned water and coursely chop

1 large diced onion
1 large diced bell pepper
2 lbs ground beef(can use half beef half pork)
2 cans cr of mushroom soup
2 cans French onion soup
1 cup of water
2.5 cups uncooked rice
Salt, pepper, garlic powder, Cajun seasoning to taste.
Green onions

Cook meat with veggies...drain fat. Add other ingredients except rice. Simmer over medium heat. Add rice and green onion and stir. Place in 350 degree oven with a lid for 30 minutes. Take out and roll rice. Place lid back on and put back in oven for another 20 minutes. You can cut the heat about 15 minutes prior.
