I absolutely love this recipe and I love Paula Deen! This dish was full of flavor. I threw some seasoned green beans (cooked with bacon grease, onions, hot sauce and all season over the rice and it set it off. The rice is so buttery and good and the meat is tender. Make sure that you use a large stockpot so that you have a lot of room. Premium rice, such is Uncle Ben is also must. There is a kick to it with the cayenne, so I added a side dish of potato salad to offset and a basket of Hawaiian Sweet Rolls in the center of the table. You will enjoy this recipe. I'm definitely cooking this for my next Sunday crowd!

I am a single guy, and I like this recipie a lot. It is very easy, and it is very easily adaptable to changes you might want to make. 3 cups of rice makes a LOT! I take it down to 2. After making it the first time, I also reduce the red pepper to 1/2 tsp. Makes great leftovers too.

I just made this and I think it's deliciousl! Of course, I had to make a few changes. First, I used boneless country ribs because that's all I had. Like some previous posters, I melted the butter and added the onions to sweat, then seasoned the meat with salt, pepper and garlic and browned it in the butter/onion mixture. I also add all of the seasonings to the butter to infuse it with flavor, including a little celery seed and a dash of Worsetershire I cooked it for quite a bit longer then 40 minutes (maybe an hour and 15 minutes? to tenderize the meat. A very nice dish, but it makes SO MUCH RICE! I should have paid attention and reduced the amount. Next time I think I'll try it in the slow cooker.
