Hmmm. My dirty rice recipe doesn't call for canned soup, so not sure I would compare the two. :-) But love the word dirty-rice-esque. lol imjustjim

I do a dirty rice but I take out your 2 cream soups and add french onion, cream of beefy mushroom, stick of butter and us beef broth instead of chicken. Good eating.

I loved this recipe so much I decided to make an account to comment about it. It’s amazing!

I subbed brown rice because its glycemic index is significantly better than white rice. I used a quick rice tho, which I didn’t think about until after I bought a package of rice which takes almost an hour to cook. I know this dish cooks for an hour, but will it turn out ok if I use the rice’s interchangeably and follow the directions the same way?
