CONVERTED RICE RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven or saucepan, over medium-high heat, sauté the sausage, beef, and livers until no pink remains. Drain all but 3 Tbsp from the pan. (If sausage is very lean add bacon grease or butter to pan to make 3 Tbsp.)
• Add the bell pepper, onions, and celery. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
• Cook for 5-7 minutes until the veggies begin to soften and brown. Add the rice, green onions, and garlic; continue to stir for 1-2 minutes until the rice begins to toast or turn brown.
• Add the worcestershire sauce, beef & chicken stock, creole seasoning, sage, and bay leaves. Mix well, turn the heat to low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Cook until the rice is fully tender and the broth has been absorbed. Stir well and remove from heat, then stir in the chopped parsley.
• *Cooks Notes: Don't let the Sage scare you off because you don't taste the small amount of sage in this recipe but it does make a difference in the taste, so don't leave it out. I personally do not like sage in anything, but this recipe is the exception. Some people like to put diced pork or Andouille sausage in their Dirty Rice, which is fine - almost anything goes, however, adding sausage or tomatoes will lean the dish towards a Jambalaya. Dirty Rice shouldn't be too wet or gummy, the grains should separate easily and still be moist enough to hold together on your fork.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 13x9 baking dish with cooking spray; set aside.
• Add ground beef, sausage, salt, pepper and garlic to a large skillet then brown and crumble over medium-high heat.
• When meat is about half cooked, add onion and celery then continue cooking until meat is cooked through and veggies are tender. Do not drain.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together broth and soups until smooth. Pour soup mixture into skillet, stir then continue cooking until everything starts to bubble.
• Gently stir in rice then pour everything into baking dish dish. Cover tightly with aluminum foil then bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. If mixture cools before baking, allow up to 20 additional minutes of cooking time.
• Remove casserole from oven and let rest, covered, for 15 minutes. Remove foil then fluff rice with a fork before serving.
