How to Make Louisiana Dirty Rice
- In a large skillet or Dutch oven, brown 1 lb ground beef (or chicken or pork) over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 1 green bell pepper, chopped, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 2 cloves garlic, minced, and cook for 1 minute more.
- Add 1 cup brown rice (or 1 ½ cups long-grain white rice), 2 cups chicken broth, 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 teaspoon dried thyme, ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste), ½ teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste). Add 1 tablespoon Creole seasoning (such as Zatarain's), or to taste.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45-50 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork and serving. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
