Moma’s Eggplant Rice (or Cornbread) Dressing by Debra Dupont

1 to 2 Pounds Ground Beef
1 Pound Ground Pork
1 Chicken & Livers Dresing Mix
1 Eggplant, Chopped into Small Pieces
1 Onion, Chopped
1 Bell Pepper, Chopped
3/4 Cup Italian Bread Crumbs
2 1/2 Cups Water
3 Cups Cooked Rice or Pre-Baked Jiffy Cornbread Mix
Tony’s Seasoning, To Taste

Put all ingredients in pot, except bread crumbs and rice (or cornbread).  Let all ingredients cook down and brown lightly.  After cooking down, leave enough juices to mix with either cooked rice or baked cornbread.  Add bread crumbs and mix well. Combine with cooked rice (or cornbread). This dressing recipe is great for stuffing bell peppers, which may be frozen for later.
