Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    Rinse the long-grain white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the onion, green bell pepper, and celery into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.

  3. 3

    Prepare Chicken Livers

    Rinse the chicken livers under cold water and chop them into small pieces.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Brown the Meat

    In a large skillet or pot, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.

  2. 5

    Add Chicken Livers and Vegetables

    Add the chopped chicken livers, onion, green bell pepper, celery, and garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 6

    Season the Mixture

    Stir in the cajun seasoning, black pepper, salt, bay leaves, and thyme. Mix well to combine.

  4. 7

    Add Rice and Liquids

    Add the rinsed rice to the skillet and stir to combine with the meat and vegetables. Pour in the chicken broth and water. Bring to a boil.

  5. 8

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

  6. 9

    Fluff and Serve

    Remove from heat, discard bay leaves, and fluff the rice with a fork. Serve warm.
