Ground Beef Dirty Rice Recipe

Are you a lover of soul food?? I sure am! There is a huge lack anything soul food here in central Minnesota, so I've been slowly learning to make some soul food recipes, hoping they turn out as authentic as possible!

I was browsing through "Come Home to Supper" the new cookbook from Southern Plate's Christy Jordan and came across her recipe for dirty rice. 

I happened to have all the ingredients on hand, and gave the recipe a try. It turned out wonderful!! The leftovers were even better than when it was freshly made and the seasoning measurements I used had the perfect amount of spiciness. This is something I will make again and again. 

I love food, but I also love essential oils! Check out my Young Living page here for everything oils!
