Dixon Gangs Dirty Rice Recipes

DIXON GANG'S DIRTY RICE

Steps:

• Cook rice in pan according to directions, adding only the water and Swanson Veggie broth packet (if you don't have time for rice to cook completely, just get it started in the pan while the meat cooks. It will finish in the oven!).
• Meanwhile, in large skillet brown the meat, along with the finely chopped onion, green pepper, and garlic. Once cooked through, add the seasonings and pintos. Stir to mix and remove from heat.
• Place the cooked rice in a 13x9 casserole dish sprayed with Pam. Pour the tomato sauce on top of the rice. Refill the tomato sauce can with water; pour this on top of the rice as well. Stir well.
• Add the meat mixture to the rice in the casserole dish. Mix to combine. Taste to see if you'd like more chili powder, pepper, etc.
• Cover with foil & bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes, until rice is completely cooked and casserole is heated through. Serve with shredded cheese and/or sour cream if desired.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a high-sided pan over medium-high heat. Cook and stir pork until well browned and fat is rendered, 5 to 7 minutes. Add onion, celery, and bell pepper; saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in paprika, cumin, black pepper, cayenne, garlic powder, oregano, and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables continue to soften, about 5 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium and add andouille sausage. Cook and stir to release some flavor, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in chicken livers and rice until well coated. Season with salt, pour in broth, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add bay leaf and Worcestershire sauce. Cover tightly; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, without stirring, until most of the liquid is absorbed and rice is starting to get tender, about 25 minutes.
• Add green onions and parsley; mix well. Continue cooking over low to medium-low heat until rice is tender, about 10 minutes more. Taste for seasoning and remove bay leaf before serving.
