Method
Preparation
- 1
Rinse the Rice
In a fine mesh strainer, rinse the long-grain white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch.

Cook the Vegetables
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Add Garlic
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Cooking the Meat
- 4
Brown the Meat
Add the ground beef and ground pork to the skillet with the vegetables. Cook, breaking the meat apart with a spoon, until browned, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Season the Mixture
Stir in the Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper, mixing well to combine.

Add Rice and Broth
Add the rinsed rice to the skillet, stirring it into the meat mixture. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.

Simmer the Rice
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the broth.
