One pot meals are everything when it comes to getting dinner served quickly during the week. Monday – Thursday is the busiest part of our week so easy dinners are a must. They are a great way for me to prepare dinner ahead of time so I’ve been experimenting a bit with a few and this chicken and sausage dirty rice recipe will be added to the rotation indefinitely. It’s a great alternative to the famous beef and broccoli recipe we all love.

February 25, 2017 at 8:25 pmNo temp was specified on the oven temp so I made a wild guess and did 350. Also improvised with a cast iron skillet and covered with foil to bake so we will see how it turns out. In the oven now!

March 1, 2017 at 9:36 amThank you for letting me know I forgot to add the temp. How did it turn out!

March 1, 2017 at 10:08 am350 ended up too low. The rice wasn’t cooked all the way at 40 min so I bumped it up to 400 for another 20 min and that did the trick. Loved the meal, so did my hubs!

December 15, 2017 at 2:04 pmYou just keep getting better and better. I enjoy all that you do. I made the cream of mushroom soup and used the remainder of my frozen Turkey carcass from Thanksgiving to create a really rich broth that was really tasty!
Thanks so much!!

January 13, 2018 at 11:52 amI don’t have a dutch oven..could I just transfer it all into a pan after sauteing everything?

January 13, 2018 at 3:19 pmThe only thing is it will disturb the rice. I have just done everything on the stove in a sauté pan. So just turn it down really low and let it all simmer on stove in a regular pan. It will take a little longer but it turns out fine. The main thing is you want the rice to cook all the way! Hope that made sense
