1 1/2 lbs. sausage or cubed beef
3 tbsp. bacon drippings (if beef used)
3 tbsp. flour
2 med. onions
2 tsp. salt
1 bunch green onions
2 tbsp. chopped parsley
2 cloves garlic
2 1/2 c. water
2 c. rice
3/4 tsp. red pepper

Brown meat in bacon drippings and remove and add flour. Use a heavy skillet and brown flour to a dark brown roux. Add onions, parsley and garlic. Cook until soft, then add water and rice, salt, pepper and browned meat. Bring to a boil, lower heat to lowest point and cook about 1 hour, covered tightly. When rice is done, remove lid and let cook for a few minutes until rice dries a little.
