INSTRUCTIONS
Various recipes for this popular dish include lots of different
ingredients, such as chicken liver, sausage, endouille, etc. But my
Mom's recipe is of course my favorite and quite simple. The following
is a close estimate (since no one has ever written down the actual
amounts of any ingredients - until now!): The Dressing Mix: Pan fry
the ground meat well until all of the meat is well done. Put bell
pepper, onion and garlic into food processor and "nearly" liquify it,
then add this to the meat. The pepper/onion/garlic should sizzle as
you stir it well into the meat. When the sizzling fades, add the
mushroom steak sauce and a little water and allow the entire dressing
mix to simmer for at least a half hour. Dirty Rice: Cooked rice can
be added to this mixture and thoroughly stirred. The more rice you
add, the drier and "whiter" the resulting dressing will be. Adding the
right amount of rice will result in a dress that is moist with the
rice appearing very brown ("dirty"). Cornbread Dressing: Substitute
crumbed cornbread for cooked rice. Save some for later: Freeze the
dressing mix, i.e., before adding rice/cornbread, separately. When
needed, defrost the mix by heating it and add the rice or cornbread.
