Description

Dirty rice is a classic Cajun dish that is made with rice, meat, and vegetables. It gets its name from the fact that the rice takes on a "dirty" color from the spices and ingredients that are added to it. Chef Kevin Belton's version of this dish is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Equipment
