How to Make Bloody Mary Style Cabbage Jambalaya

  1. Brown 1 lb of ground meat (beef, pork, or a blend) in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add 1 large chopped bell pepper (any color) and 1 medium chopped onion to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1 (14-ounce) bag of coleslaw mix, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout the meat and vegetables.
  4. Pour in 2 cups of your favorite Bloody Mary mix, ensuring the mixture is submerged by about an inch.
  5. Add 1 ½ cups of uncooked long-grain rice and stir to combine everything thoroughly.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  7. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions (optional).
