Recipe Talk

I have misplaced my recipe for a rice recipe from The Great American Recipe Card collection. I do not remeber the name, but it was for a spicy rice recipe. Some of the ingredients that I remember are white rice, cayenne pepper, bacon and I think celery. Does anyone have this recipe???

I have not found one that says Spicky Rice.
And I have the MCCalls Collection.

That is not the one. I don't remeber the name, but it was like a New Orleans type recipe with cayenne pepper. It is in the Potatoes, Pasta and Rice section. It might be card #16.

Does anyone have the recipe from the Great American Recipe Card Collection for the Country Stuffed Tomatoes? I have lost that card. I'm not sure if that is the exact title or what the card number is.

Thanks, but this is not the right recipe. It calls for white rice, cayenne pepper, bacon

Thanks , but this is not the right recipe. I am looking for a spicy louisiana rice recipe. I believe it is card # 16.

Is it from the Great American Recipes where there are traditional instructions on front and microwave instructions on back? If so, the only recipe I could find is one for Cajun Dirty Rice. It has cayenne pepper and celery but no bacon. Other ingredients are chicken livers and gizzards and long grain rice, among many other things. Please let me know if this is the one you need and I'd be happy to post it.

I don't know if you found the recipe, but I do have card #16 "Country Rice " if you still ned the recipe.....
