Steps:

• 1. 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.)

• 4. 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.
• 5. 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.
• 6. *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.
