Ingredients
1/2 pound ground beef
1/2 pound ground ground spicy Italian sausage
1 cup diced yellow onion
1 cup diced green bell pepper
1 cup diced celery
3 cloves garlic, minced
1-2 tsps Cajun seasoning, based on your preference
1 1/2 cups White Rice
24 oz low sodium chicken broth
2 sprigs fresh thyme, or 1 tsp tried thyme
Salt, to taste
1 bunch Green onion, sliced, optional garnish
Directions
- In a large heavy bottomed pot (like a dutch oven), over medium-high heat, cook ground meat until no longer pink. Drain grease.
- Add in onion, green bell pepper and celery. Cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add in garlic and Cajun seasoning, cook for 30 seconds. Add the uncooked, dry rice, chicken broth, and thyme sprigs.
- Bring to a boil and then reduce heat. Cover pot with a tight-fitting lid and simmer until rice is cooked, about 20 minutes.
- Taste and add salt or additional Cajun seasoning, to taste. Garnish with green onions, if desired. Enjoy!
