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.
Enjoy your homemade dirty rice!
