This rice dish is an easy one-pot meal! Rice is simmered with ground beef, pork breakfast sausage, veggies, and Cajun seasoning, making it hearty and flavorful.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
½ pound ground pork breakfast sausage
½ pound ground beef (I use an 80/20 mix)
½ cup diced yellow onion
½ cup diced celery
½ cup diced red bell pepper
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
1 teaspoon minced fresh sage
1 teaspoon Morton kosher salt
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (delete if you prefer less heat)
2½ cups low-sodium beef broth
1 cup long grain white rice

Optional Garnish

2 green onions, chopped

Instructions

Place a Dutch oven over medium heat and add butter. Once melted, add sausage and ground beef. Cook meat until almost fully browned – a little pink is okay (about 5 minutes or so).
Add onion, celery, and red bell pepper, and cook for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and just beginning to brown.
Next add garlic, parsley, sage, salt, Cajun seasoning, and cayenne pepper. Stir and cook for an additional minute.
Pour in beef broth and gently scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add rice and bring mixture to a boil.
Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. Allow rice to cook at a gentle simmer for 20 minutes, or until cooked to your liking.
Fluff the finished dirty rice with a fork. Garnish with additional chopped parsley. Chopped green onions are also nice.
