How to Make Dixon Gang's Dirty Rice

  1. In a large skillet or pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 pound of ground meat (beef, chicken, or a vegetarian substitute) and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
  3. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 1 green bell pepper, chopped, to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in 2 cloves garlic, minced, and cook for 1 minute more.
  6. Add 1 cup of raw long-grain white rice and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  7. Pour in 2 cups of water and 1 packet (8 ounces) of Swanson vegetable broth.
  8. Add 1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional), and salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed.
  10. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.
