Mom's Dirty Rice
"My mother made this for me and my husband. We had it is a main dish, but could be used as a side dish. It is spicy! I have no idea how many servings it makes. My mother would bring this to us in a big bowl. We would dish it out on dinner plates, warm it up in the microwave and ENJOY! Try it you will love it!"

Very tasty and easy to prepare. I might perhaps put a clove of garlic in with the vegetables next time (but then I want to put garlic in with almost everything!) -
This was AWESOME!! First time I've had dirty rice and I will definately be making it again. Although I did make some changes, I'm sure it would be great just as written. Since there are only two of us in the house and we LOVE hot foods, I halfed the recipe, used only 1 lb of hot italian sausage, added 2 cloves of garlic, left out the celery (didn't have any) and added 1 1/2 tsp of cajun seasoning -(an idea I read in another recipe). I think this put it over the top for us. My son took a look at it for the first time and I could read his mind- "Here we go again with the weird dishes-what's wrong with mac and cheese???". When he took his first bite, there was no stopping him. He dove right into the pan for seconds and finished what was left. This is going into the permanent recipe cookbook for SURE. Thanks for posting this! -
A terrific (and easy) recipe, thanks!! I did the hamburger/mild sausage swap because that was what was on-hand and other then that, I gave the hamburger a generous dash of McCormick's "Mediterranean Spices with Sea Salt" to give it a little life, and added a little more veggies like some suggested. Well worth a try. -
I love this recipe.!!!! Very easy to make and my family enjoyed it. I used grren pepper flakes and came out with a wonderful flavor. -
Wonderful! I will double the onion, celery, and green pepper next time. I will also decrease mild ground sausage to 1.5 lbs. and instead of the hot ground sausage, I will use a 1/2 lb. link sausage. It was yummy as is.

We're having a blizzard today. This was great comfort food on a freezing cold day. I added a little garlic, used 1 lb hamburger instead of the mild sausage. I had 5 hot Italian sausages; I split the casing on 2 and browned that with the hamburger and sliced the other 3 so most of the 'hot' could be picked out by my DH who only likes plain meat and potatoes. I also increased the celery since I left the green pepper out. Only thing was it needed a little salt. -
Whew. I just finished making this recipe, and I must say, it tastes great. The only thing was I, unfortunately, didn't have any bell pepper, so I just had to do without. Even so, it still tasted great with a little garlic. I also used a plain yellow onion, but it still worked out. I also used beef stock instead of chicken. I think that's more of a personal preference. Thanks for the recipe.
