On Sunday we celebrated Mother’s Day with my Mom & Dad. My mother requested my hubbies BBQ ribs and she made the sides.
For Holidays the Question is always Corn Bread or Rice Dressing ? What’s the difference ?
Corn Bread dressing is made with Corn bread and Rice Dressing uses Rice as main ingredient.
And what is the difference between Rice Dressing & the more famous Dirty Rice ?
The essential ingredients are few, but flavor and texture vary greatly. The main difference between dirty rice and rice dressing is that rice dressing is generally made with ground beef or pork, whereas dirty rice is made with pork and chicken livers.
Granny’s Rice Dressing

2 bulbs of chopped garlic
1 1/2 cups of cooked Rice

Yum! Dirty Rice! I know it’s horrible but usually I get the Tony C’s box. However I recently made it from scratch. It was so much better.

so true. But I sometimes cheat and the local grocery store sells a frozen dressing mix. All you need to do is brown and add rice and broth.

I really like Dirty Rice, but this Rice Dressing sounds delicious too….I think I’ll have to try it…my family loves Southern Food. Every time I cook Southern I think I could make double servings and freeze one part…..every time they eat everything, there is never anything left…..

If you notice the rice dressing doesnt have giblets or chicken lives, My son likes it better than dirty rice.
