Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Rice

Rinse the long-grain white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for a few minutes.

2

Cook the Meat

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and andouille sausage. Cook until browned, breaking up the beef with a spatula. Drain excess fat if necessary.

3

Sauté the Vegetables

Add the chopped onion, celery, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet with the meat. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

4

Combine Ingredients

Stir in the cooked rice, chicken broth, cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.

5

Final Cooking

Cover the skillet and cook on low heat for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally and adjust seasoning if needed.

6

Serve

Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
