Mama Ruth's Red Rice

This has been in my family for so long that i don't even remember who ruth is, but if there was a family gathering, you can bet someone would make this. To do this in the true style of mama ruth, it has to be done in a dutch oven. Keep in mind, this is southern - it ain't about healthy ;)
