1 pound ground beef

2 cups chicken livers, ground or finely chopped

3 cups chicken gizzards, ground or finely chopped

1 cup chopped onion

1 bell pepper chopped

1 quart raw oysters

3 to 4 cups medium-grain rice

Clean liver and gizzards and put to boil. Once boiled, use a meat grinder or chop up the liver and gizzards. Using a large pot, add ground or chopped liver and gizzards and add ground beef. Add seasoning to your liking. Brown in a little shortening over medium high heat, stirring constantly, keeping meat scraped from bottom and sides of pot. When meat is well browned, it will stop sticking.

Add chopped vegetables, cook and stir until they are transparent.

Add small amount of water and add oysters; cover and simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes.

Add cooked rice and stir gently. Cover and let stand until ready to serve. Serve hot. Serves 6-8.
