Been assigned to make dirty rice for Easter. Looking for ways to improve mine (although I guess it's pretty good if it was requested).

Just wanted to get some tips and ideas from the pros.....

Cook the rice with the meat like a jambalaya instead of mixing after

I use a pack of Savoies Dressing Mix, with 1# of ground pork and 1# ground beef, 3 med yellow onions, 4 stalks celery, 2 bell peppers to 3 cups raw rice.

Cook all the meat and veggies like you would a jamabalya and add it to your cooked rice. Works better if you cookyour rice the day before and mix the meat mixture with cold rice.

Make it easy on yourself. Get the frozen mix below and use a combo of ground meat & pork and add some extra onions & bell peppers. It'll be easy & delish.

Brown dressing mix with onions, bell peppers, etc
Add chicken stock to make sure you have enough liquid
Add cooked medium grain rice
Call it rice dressing & you are good

Here's my family's recipe. One of my favorite's and the eggplant is what sets it apart from almost any other recipe. Get green eggplant if you can. Very hard to find though. You can also consider using chicken broth instead of water, like others have suggested.

3 tsp of chopped garlic

3 onions, chopped

5 stalks of celery, chopped

2 bell peppers, chopped

5 green eggplants or 2 large purple eggplants, chopped

4 lb of ground meat

2 pkg of pork sausage rolls(owens or jimmy deans)

Chop vegetables. Brown meat with a little oil. Season meat while cooking with Tony's. Add vegetables. Saute vegetables and meat, add a little water, and cook until vegetables are translucent. Eggplant should have disintegrated. Add a little more water and about 8 cups of cooked rice. (Helpful hint-Cook rice the day before and refrigerate it. This keeps the dressing from being mushy by adding hot rice.) When ready to serve, add chopped green onions and parsley.

Serves about 25.

That damn calculator makes my day a lot easier when I'm cooking jambalaya or rice dressing. My buddies are always calling me to get a copy. I've done it enought times now that I just about know it by heart. I definitely owe you a beer at some point in our lives!

Thanks.

BTW - I made jambalaya last night. I thought, "Oh I know how to do this". So I didn't measure.

Result - way too much liquid resulting in mushy rice. Normally I keep leftovers. Not last night.

This is what I do. I have also used Richard's and it's just as good as Savoie's.

I usually use a tub of each. One seems to have more innards than the other (never remember which is which). A pound of ground venison and a pound of bulk venison sausage. Yes indeed.
