Creamy Italian Deliciousness, With a Lovely Twist!

The Italians are best known for their pasta dishes, but they can make a lovely rice dish or two, as well! This Sweet Potato Risotto is a delicious variant on a classic North Italian home recipe. It is such gourmet flavor in just a few easy steps. People in America may think of risotto as a dish for fine-dining restaurants, but it has its origins in comfort food cooking for the home. A big part of its appeal is that it makes for a highly variable template for most any flavor combination that you want.

Most people also think making risotto is difficult. It certainly isn’t! I used to think so, too, before I finally decided to give it a try. In my opinion, the secret is in the splash of white wine. It brings in such an incredible flavor that people will thing you’ve hired a professional chef to do all the cooking for you!

Quick tip: Make sure you use rice that is especially meant for risotto. Regular rice just won’t be the same.

If you have some boneless, skinless chicken breasts that you need to use, and you want to kick it up a notch without too much of a time or labor investment, give this Cajun Chicken & Rice recipe a try. Some recipes from Louisiana and the Deep South can be real labors of love. This one is rather quick and easy, yet it still serves up plenty of good Cajun flavor. It makes for a great weeknight dinner option.

I opted to go without the cheddar cheese (which you add at the end, if using), as I wanted a bit of a cleaner, more spicy dish. If you want the dish to be a bit on the softer and creamier side, or if you just really love cheese, then you will want to include it. It’s a delicious recipe, either way – just a matter of your personal preference.

Quick tip: Go with the mild Ro-Tel unless you want the dish to be REALLY spicy; hot Ro-Tel tomatoes are properly HOT.

Simply Delicious Soul Food

Argo cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, barilla pasta, beef, beef recipe, Bertolli extra-virgin olive oil, black pepper, Bob's Red Mill, Borden, brown sugar, Campbell’s soups, casserole, Chiquita, Clabber Girl, College Inn, comfort, comfort food, Cool Whip, Creole seasoning, crock pot, Daisy sour cream, dessert, dirty rice, Dole, domino sugar, easy, easy recipe, eat, Eggland's Best eggs, entree, food, Gold Medal flour, granulated sugar, Green Giant, ground beef, Hershey, Hodgkin’s Mill, home, home recipe, Jell-O, Jif peanut butter, Johnsonville, keebler, kosher salt, Kraft, land o lakes butter, Libby, low-hassle, main course, main dish, McCormick spices, Morton salt, Pam Cooking Spray, Pepperidge Farm, Philadelphia cream cheese, Powdered sugar, quick, quick recipe, recipe, rice, rice recipe, Ritz crackers, Sara Lee, Sargento, simple, simple recipe, slow cooker, soul, soul food, Southern, Southern cuisine, Southern food, Thorn Apple Valley, Toll House, Tony Chachere, Tony Chachere's, Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning, TruMoo milk, tyson, vanilla, vanilla extract, Vlasic, Wesson vegetable oil, whipped topping

This Dirty Rice is quick and easy Southern soul food at its finest. It makes in just 35 minutes and four easy steps–great for a hectic weeknight dinner. I could eat dirty rice most any time of year, but it is particularly good when the weather is turning cooler and you want something that will fill you up right without much hassle or time investment. And it is just piquant enough to excite your palate without coming anywhere close to setting your mouth on fire.

If you want the full Southern “soul food” experience, I do recommend cooking this with the bacon grease. That bacon flavor can work wonders with many a recipe, and it gives the recipe a more filling, savory kick. If you want a bit of a lighter-tasting dish, however, or if you need to watch your cholesterol, go with the olive oil.
