Dirty Rice

🧂 Ingredients

• ½ lb ground beef

  (leaner is best, up to 80/20 ground chuck)
• ½ lb ground pork
• ½ cup onion

  (1 large white or yellow onion, diced)
• 1 cup celery

  (sliced or diced)
• 1 green bell pepper

  (diced)
• 1 tablespoon garlic

  (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning

  (see recipe or use your favorite brand)
• ¼ teaspoon each, salt & pepper

  (to taste)
• 1 ½ cups long grain white rice

  (uncooked)
• 3 ½ cups beef broth
• parsley

  (fresh, chopped, optional for garnish)

Instructions

• 1 Brown the ground beef and ground pork in a large heavy-bottomed skillet, frying
  pan, or Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook for 5-6 minutes, breaking apart the
  meat until crumbled and browned.
• 2 Once the meat is browned, add the diced onion, celery, green bell pepper,
  garlic, and seasoning (Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper). Stir into the browned
  meat and saute the vegetables until slightly softened or about 4-5 minutes.
• 3 Add the uncooked long-grain white rice and stir it into the meat mixture, then
  pour in the beef broth. Stir and bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and
  simmer for 20 minutes.
• 4 Turn off the heat and leave the dirty rice covered. Allow the rice to sit,
  covered, for an additional 5 minutes. When done, fluff with a fork and serve.
  Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
