Dirty Rice
My classic Cajun dirty rice is packed with bold spices, ground pork and beef, and the holy trinity of onion, bell pepper, and celery.
Servings: 6 people
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
Instructions
- In a large pot, cook and crumble ½ pound ground beef and ½ pound ground pork until no longer pink.
- Add 1 small diced onion, 1 diced green bell pepper, 2 stalks diced celery, 3 garlic cloves, minced, 1 tablespoon Cajun Seasoning, and salt to taste. Cook until they start to soften.
- Add 1 ½ cups long-grain rice and 3 ½ cups beef broth. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 20 minutes or until rice is tender. Fluff and serve.
Notes
Storage and Reheat Instructions
- Refrigerator: Store rice in an airtight container in the fridge. It will keep for 5–6 days.
- Freezer: Cool rice completely, then transfer to a sealed freezer bag or container labeled with the date. Freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheat: Thaw rice in the fridge overnight before reheating. Warm it in the microwave, stirring occasionally, until heated through. You can also reheat on the stove over medium heat until warm.
