I had this before; we called it Tony's Dirty Rice. He cooked it at the station last year around Christmas and it was great.

The butcher at Oak Point in Baton Rouge will mix the liver and gizzards into the ground meat for you. One of the best textures of any rice dressing I've ever eaten, but next time I'm cutting down on the sweet potato. Other than that, great recipe, my family wants to add this to our traditional holiday line up.
