Ingredients

  • ½ pound ground beef
  • ½ pound ground pork
  • 1 small diced onion (about ½ cup)
  • 1 diced green bell pepper (about 1 cup)
  • 2 stalks diced celery (about 1 cup)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun Seasoning
  • 1 ½ cups long-grain rice (uncooked)
  • 3 ½ cups beef broth
  • salt to taste

Method

  1. Cook the ground beef and ground pork in a large pot, breaking the meat into crumbles, until neither shows any pink.
  2. Add the diced small onion, diced green bell pepper, diced celery stalks, minced garlic cloves, Cajun Seasoning and salt to the browned meat and cook the mixture until the vegetables start to soften.
  3. Stir the uncooked long-grain rice and the beef broth into the pot and bring everything to a boil.
  4. Lower the heat, cover the dirty rice, and simmer it for 20 minutes until the grains are tender.
  5. Fluff the finished rice with a fork so the meat and vegetables distribute through it, and serve it straight from the pot.
