Lorraine Mosley's Dirty Rice
Altho most people think of Dirty Rice as a side dish, this is hearty enough to be a meal by itself. It's also a great snack, just get out the crackers & hot sauce and watch them dive in!!!
List of Ingredients
- 5 cups water, chicken or beef broth
- 2 package. Oak Grove Smokehouse Dirty Rice Mix*
- 2 1/2 lbs. ground round
- 3 bunches chopped green onions, with tops
- minced garlic or garlic powder to taste
- 1 small finely chopped green pepper
- crushed red pepper to taste
- 3 to 4 lbs. spicy smoked sausage
Instructions
- Bring broth to a boil. Add dirty rice mix, stir; return to boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside for 20 minutes.
Pour cooked rice mix into very large bowl.
- Brown ground round with onions, garlic, green pepper and crushed red pepper flakes. Do not drain.
- Cut sausage into 1/2 inch slices and then again in half or into quarters. Brown and drain.
- Mix all together in bowl with rice and let set at least 2 hours for flavors to blend in, then adjust seasonings to taste.
Final Comments
Lorraine's Note: I don't add salt because the rice mix has a lot of salt in it. This makes enough to fill 2 gallon size freezer bags & it freezes well.
*If you can't find this, Zatarain's Dirty Rice works quite well, others will do.
