Dirty Rice Recipe

Heat a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.

Add 2 to 3.5 tablespoons of salted butter and a little oil to the skillet and allow it to melt.

Fry up 1 whole green bell pepper, 1 whole sweet onion, and a little bit of red onion until softened.

Add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet and break it apart, mixing it with the vegetables until cooked through and the vegetables are translucent.

Stir to ensure nothing is sticking to the bottom of the skillet.

Add 1 tablespoon and some change of minced garlic and stir it in.

Pour in 1 cup of low sodium chicken broth and season with onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and a sprinkle of chicken bouillon powder.

Add 1 tablespoon of Cajun spices and some fresh green onions, stirring everything together.

Add 1 can of cream of mushroom and stir until evenly incorporated.

Reduce heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for about 20 minutes.

While the mixture simmers, cook 4 to 5 cups of rice according to package instructions.

Allow the rice to cool slightly before adding it to the skillet mixture, mixing slowly to incorporate without making a mess.

Ensure all the rice is mixed well with the other ingredients until evenly colored.
