In the 70s, I lived next door to a Cajun lady in Singapore. Thanksgivings were an American community affair. She always contributed rice dressing, similar to this recipe, but her's include a distinct taste of sage. I have tried for years and been unable to find her recipe. I intend to try this and add sage. Loos delicious though.

It takes a little time to put together but great recipe! -
This is a great recipe that I've been making for years. I've adapted it a little. I only use half the liver which I cut really, really small after it's been sauteed. I use brown which I cook prior. (it also eliminates the need for broth) I boil the rice in a lot off water and drain it when its almost done so it won't get mushy later. I then mix sauteed veggies, meat, & rice in a crock...at this point I taste for salt. Set it on low for a few hours or more depending or when you need it. The crock pot really makes all the flavors come together. Thanks for posting!

I have 3 sons, a cat & a dog. I was born and raised on the Gulf Coast of Texas. I'm happy to say, I just recently moved back to my hometown after living away for over 20 years.
Some of my hobbies are taking photos of the local wildlife and scenery,beachcombing,studying the history of my island and my family genealogy, checking out the local art galleries and thrift shops and of course, cooking.
