Variations and Substitutions
A Quick & Easy Broth: If you don't have chicken broth, stir together 3 cups of water + 2 ½ tablespoons of powdered chicken bouillon. You can use beef or vegetable broth instead of chicken.
No-Pork Dirty Rice: Instead of pork sausage, substitute seasoned ground turkey sausage or deer sausage.
Dirty Rice Without Red Meat: If you don't eat red meat, use ground turkey instead of the lean beef in this recipe. I suggest adding the seasonings listed, then tasting the cooked meat and adjusting to your preference - turkey is more bland than beef, so you may need a little more bang!
Shortcut Veggies: Feel free to use frozen chopped onion, chopped green bell peppers, and chopped celery. I've made this recipe with all fresh vegetables, and I've made it with all frozen veggies. You save lots of chopping time using frozen, and it still turns out tasty!
