  • “I used 1 lb ground beef, beef stock and I can diced tomatoes. no bay leaves. Worked great.No its Eddies low down dirty rice.”

  • “We loved this! Thanks so much!”

  • “Really liked this. Have made it twice so far. First time without the meat, and had to subsitute the cayenne with chili powder and halved the quantity as was feeding a toddler, made it less spicy. Very easy to make and fed myself, hubby and toddler. Toddler is a rice addict so perfect! Have also changed veg depending on what Ihad to hand that might work! :)”

  • “Yum! I really loved the spice combination. The only changes I made were to usearound double the quantity of chicken in small pieces rather than diced, and usedbutter rather than margarine. “
