- Rice Dressing Recipe
Hey folks! It was requested that I made some good old fashioned rice dressing. Some people are unfamiliar with “rice dressing” simply because most people refer to this dish as dirty rice. Well let me clear that up a bit. In the past I’ve shared a few “dirty rice” recipe, however they are shortcut recipes. Meaning, I didn’t use a lot of ingredients for true authentic dirty rice, simply because I wasn’t sure if people were truly ready for that dish yet. True southern dirty rice is spicy. It’s spicy with a lot of ingredients that some people just can’t handle. I’m talking lots of red pepper flakes, gizzards, chicken livers, and more spiciness. If ya’ll are ready for the real deal dirty rice, let me know. BUT until then, let me show you how to make some bomb rice dressing, which is like the cousin to dirty rice.
Rice dressing is extremely similar to dirty rice. We still use the rice, chicken livers, and chicken gizzards. We even add the bell peppers, and onions. What we don’t add is the heat. This is a mild rice dressing recipe. However if you’d like to add some heat to this rice dressing you can!

This Southern Rice Dressing recipe is to die for, I think I used 3 stalks of celery because that is what this white boy had. This seems to be a cross between Cajun Dirty rice and a dressing for Thanksgiving to go with the turkey. Way better than the dirty rice of Popeye’s and mouth watering for any soul food such as smothered pork chops and smothered Ox Tails. I just had a Pinterest Cajun seasoning mix and it flavored it well and am looking forward to your seasoning mix. Soul food and southern cooking is what I was brought up on in East Texas. I lived about a mile from where Earl Campbell lived, although about 4 years older than the Tyler Rose.Reply
