Welcome to this week’s Publix Super Meals. Each week I am going to share a recipe to help you take the Publix Super Deals and turn them into Publix Super Meals!

I had intended to share my recipe for Pizza Stuffed Chicken this week but by the time I had dinner done on Monday it was dark. My pictures just didn’t turn out, so I will have to share that recipe later. It’s a huge family favorite so I will try to get it done soon.

I had planned to make Chicken Satay last night but it was a dreary rainy day. I just didn’t feel like grilling so I moved my Dirty Rice up a day and thought I’d share it instead. This is a very economical meal and can be put together in about 30 minutes (less if you have cooked rice on hand!)

Now I know when some of you look at the ingredients you are going to turn up your noses at this recipe. The traditional version of this recipe calls for chicken liver (or giblets). Now, you can make my recipe below leaving out the liver but I promise you it adds a fabulous flavor to the rice – a richness that the sausage alone just doesn’t offer. The liver is so tiny that I bet your family would never even guess it was in the rice.

I typically save the liver from roasting chickens/turkey and make up a big batch of dirty rice. You can also find tubs of frozen liver at Publix if you don’t happen to have any on hand – it’s super cheap! You can also adjust the spice based on your family’s preference. I typically pull out a couple of servings for the boys then kick it up with additional cajun seasoning and sometimes cayenne pepper.
