Rice Dressing Recipe

10/11/18

The best darn rice dressing, made easy. Also called a mild dirty rice!

Delicious rice dressing recipe prepared by Rosie

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 prepared in a skillet

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 easy rice dressing recipe packs tons of flavor in one skillet.

    Hi! I LOVE your site! My Great Grandma used to make rice dressing when I was a little girl. Have you ever heard of it having oysters in it? I sent to try your recipe but dont know what type of oysters to add. Just curious to know if you have any suggestions.

    Peace and Blessings to you and your family
