  For an easier but less authentic recipe, use 1 (8 oz.) pkg. of dirty rice mix and omit the gizzards, white rice and spices.

This recipe may be more practical to make as a double batch (since it would be difficult to buy the beef, pork, and gizzards in 1/2 lb. increments).

Also, you may need to adjust the amount of spice, depending on your personal preferences and sensitivities.
Ingredients:
  1/2 lb.   ground beef
  1/2 lb.   ground (bulk) pork sausage
  1/2 lb.   chicken or pork gizzards or bag of giblets
  1   onion
  1 c.   white (or brown) rice
  1 c.   chicken stock
  3/4 c.   water
  1 (15 oz.) cans   diced tomatoes with peppers
  1 (15 oz.) cans   dark red kidney beans
  1/2 tsp.   tobasco sauce or cayenne pepper
  1/4 tsp.   black pepper
  2 T.   fresh snipped parsley (or 1 tsp. dry for every 1 T. fresh)
Directions:
  Chop the onion and rinse the gizzards/giblets.

In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, brown the ground beef, sausage, gizzards/giblets, and onion.

In a 2 quart saucepan, combine rice, chicken stock and water. Add diced tomatoes and chilies. Stir in the kidney beans with liquid. Bring to a boil, then add meat mixture. Bring back to boil, reduce heat and cover, stirring occasionally.

Cook for 20 minutes (30-40 minutes if using brown rice). Serve hot.

  For this recipe, you can use any combination of green, red, orange or yellow sweet bell peppers. And use your favorite type of olive for your own custom taste.
Ingredients:
  3   sweet bell peppers
  1 1/2 c.   shredded colby jack cheese
  1/4 c.   chopped olives
  1/4 tsp.   crushed red pepper flakes
Directions:
  Wash and remove the stem and seeds from each pepper. Cut each pepper into strips.

Preheat oven to Broil.

Place strips skin-side-down on an ungreased cookie sheet or broiler pan. Sprinkle with cheese, olives and red pepper.

Broil 3-4 inches from the heat for 5-7 minutes until peppers are crisp-tender (but before the peppers char).
