re: Non-Louisiana native looking for Rice Dressing recipe

I'm hosting Thanksgiving for the first official time in Louisiana. My family always wants me to bring the taste of south Louisiana when we get together, and this time its in my house. I've had rice dressing several times here and I know my family would love it. The problem is, I've only had catered or someone's grandmama's... with no chance of getting a recipe. Can F&DB help me out?

Here's my rice dressing recipe. My inspiration was from my grandma. She made the best rice dressing around. But she did not leave a recipe. Multiple family members have tried to recreate it. I tried my hand at it, and my dad said it tasted just like my mawmaw's. So here is my recipe.

2 cups chopped chicken liver
1/2 lb ground pork
1/2 lb ground beef (I use lean ground beef)
2-4 slices of breakfast sausage (for flavor)
2 white onion
1 bellpepper
2 cups rice
2 cup beef broth (or vegetable)
1 cup water
Salt, Pepper

1. Cook breakfast sausage, remove dice sausage

2. Cook liver, remove when cooked. Dice

3. Cook onions and bellpepper, remove

4. Cook pork and beef until almost brown

5. Add all ingredients, bring to a boil, simmer 40 minutes to 1 hour or until rice is tender and liquid is evaporated. (top on pot)

Side Note: I'm getting a bunch of ground deer meat and deer sausage (breakfast sausage patties). I believe i may make this for thanksgiving with deer meat. Oh, and i have some duck liver and gizzards in the freezer as well.
