Keto Dirty Rice Substitutions
You can use beef broth instead of the water and better than beef bouillon but this stuff really helps give you that very beefy flavor since you are not cooling the rice in beef broth.
Frozen or Fresh Cauliflower Rice?
The best cauliflower rice to use with this dirty rice recipe is the fresh cauliflower rice found in the produce section of the grocery store. You can also use the frozen cauliflower rice if that is what you have on hand.
If you are using frozen cauliflower rice to make this low carb cauliflower rice recipe you can help avoid to much liquid in the final dish by pulling it out of the freezer about 2 hours before making it and letting it come to room temperature before cooking with it.

Great recipe very easy to make. I substituted breakfast sausage for the hamburger and used better than bouillon chicken flavor. Used all the other recommended spices. Served it with two easy over eggs on top. Big hit with the family members on Keto. Will try next time with ground pork and maybe add some chicken livers.

This recipe was right up my alley. I love spicy food. I think next time I will just try it with creole seasoning and leave the cayenne pepper out. I will make it again!
