This satisfying dressing has always been received well at church socials and family reunions. The recipe feeds a crowd—I cut back if I'm serving a smaller group. —Ruth Hayward, Lake Charles, Louisiana

Ingredients

3 pounds ground beef
2 pounds ground pork
2 large onions, chopped
3 celery ribs, chopped
1 large green pepper, chopped
1 jar (4 ounces) diced pimientos, drained
5 cups water
2 cans (10-3/4 ounces each) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
2 cans (10-1/2 ounces each) condensed French onion soup
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
2 tablespoons Creole seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 cups uncooked long grain rice

Directions

Combine beef, pork and onions. Divide mixture evenly among several large Dutch ovens or stockpots; cook over medium heat until no longer pink; crumbling meat; drain.
In a large bowl, combine celery, green pepper and pimientos. Add water, soups and seasonings. Stir into the meat mixture, dividing vegetable-soup mixture evenly among them. Bring to a boil; stir in rice.
Preheat oven to 350°. Carefully transfer mixture to greased 13x9-in. baking dishes. Cover and bake for 30 minutes; stir. Cover and bake 30-40 minutes longer or until rice is tender.

Creole Seasoning

If you don’t have Creole seasoning in your cupboard, you can make your own using 1/4 tsp. each salt, garlic powder and paprika; and a pinch each of dried thyme, ground cumin and cayenne pepper.
