    Dirty Rice

    Dirty Rice

    yes, you can with more sausage or ground beef. IMHO, the livers make the dish authentic cajun style "Dirty rice" but, most dirty rice I've had eating out does not contain liver. i look at recipes as a guide, so, feel free to adjust to your tastes!!!

    Problems with my ABTs
