Dirty Rice is a Cajun style rice made with white rice, ground liver and pork, spices and seasoning. Chicken livers offer the perfect deep flavor to the rice.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the bacon grease and ground pork. Cook until there is a little pink left (use a spoon to break it up in small pieces).
Add the onion and green pepper and continue to cook until they start to soften, about 5-10 minutes.
Add the chopped livers and cook for 5 minutes, or until livers are cooked and combined into the mixture.
Then add the rice, water, beef broth, red pepper flakes, and Cajun seasoning and stir.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and cook for 20-25 minutes, until rice is fully cooked. Remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve.

Notes
Freezing the chicken livers before chopping them will makes them easier to chop;
Use a wooden spoon to break up the ground pork into small pieces while it's cooking - otherwise you end up with large chunks of ground pork in the rice;
Substitute duck fat, goose fat, pork fat or vegetable oil for the bacon grease if you don't have any.
Add ¼ teaspoon (or more) of cayenne pepper to give your rice a kick.
