Questions

What internal temperature should Rice Dressing reach?

For Rice Dressing, the target internal temperature is 160 F (about 70 C), given in step 2. A probe thermometer removes the guesswork.

Is there a substitute for Cajun seasoning in Rice Dressing?

The entry for Rice Dressing calls for 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning. In its place: Two parts paprika to one part each of garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, oregano and cayenne, with salt.

Can I use ground turkey instead of ground beef in Rice Dressing?

Yes. Choose turkey that is not extra-lean and add a tablespoon of oil to the pan, because turkey has less fat and browns more slowly. Season it a little harder than you would beef. As written, the entry for Rice Dressing uses 1/2 lb lean ground beef.

Is Rice Dressing gluten-free?

Yes. As written, nothing in the ingredient list for Rice Dressing is wheat, barley or rye. Gluten hides in packaged goods, so read the label on the seasoning and the broth.

How do I store and reheat Rice Dressing?

Refrigerate what is left of Rice Dressing within two hours and eat it within three days. Reheat gently on the stovetop. The grain firms up as it chills; add a spoonful of water before reheating.
