Description

Chef John Folse's remarkable dressing — the holy trinity and ground beef cooked together, combined with crawfish tails, roasted pecans, cooked rice, butter, green onions, and Creole seasoning, then spooned into a casserole and baked until lightly browned. A uniquely Louisiana combination that works as a main or a holiday side.
