Ingredients:

 

 * 1 pound ground beef

 

 * 1 pound ground pork sausage

 

 * 1 large onion, chopped

 

 * 1 green bell pepper, chopped

 

 * 1 red bell pepper, chopped

 

 * 2 cloves garlic, minced

 

 * 3 tablespoons 80|20 Special A Cajun seasoning

 

 * 3 cups chicken broth

 

 * 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice

 

 

 

Instructions:

 

 * Brown the meat: In a large skillet or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef and pork sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain off any excess grease.

 

 * Sauté the vegetables: Add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

 

 * Add seasonings and broth: Stir in 2 tbls of the 80|20 Special A Cajun seasoning. Pour in the chicken broth.

 

 * Simmer the rice: Stir in the uncooked rice and add remaining 80|20 Special A Cajun seasoning. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

 

 * Fluff and serve: Remove from heat and let sit for a few minutes before fluffing with a fork. Serve hot.

 

 

 

Tips:

 

 * Instead of ground pork use minced chicken gizzards.

 

 * For a little bit spicier dirty rice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a teaspoon of hot sauce to the recipe.

 

 * You can substitute chicken broth with beef broth or vegetable broth.

 

 * To make this recipe even more flavorful, add a bay leaf to the pot while the rice is simmering. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
