Ingredients
- 2 cups Long Grain White Rice (rinsed until water runs clear)
- 4 cups Beef Broth (low-sodium preferred)
- 1 cup Yellow Onion (diced)
- 1 cup Red Bell Pepper (diced)
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (extra virgin preferred)
- 1 pound Andouille Sausage (cased sausage, sliced or crumbled)
- 1 pound Ground Beef (80% lean)
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 packet Beef Bouillon Onion Soup Mix (approximately 1 ounce)
Instructions
Cook the Rice in Broth
Add the rinsed rice and beef broth to a large pot, cover, and bring to a boil over medium‑high heat. Once boiling, reduce to a low simmer, cover, and cook until all liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
Time: PT15M
Temperature: Medium
Dice the Vegetables
While the rice cooks, dice the onion and red bell pepper into uniform ½‑inch pieces.
Time: PT5M
Sauté Vegetables
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper, stirring for 3‑5 minutes until they begin to soften.
Time: PT5M
Temperature: Medium
Brown the Sausage and Ground Beef
Add the sliced/crumbled Andouille sausage and ground beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Cook, breaking up the meat, until fully browned and no longer pink, about 7‑8 minutes.
Time: PT8M
Temperature: Medium‑high
Combine Rice with Meat and Veggies
Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and gently fold it into the skillet with the browned meat and vegetables until evenly distributed.
Time: PT2M
Season the Dirty Rice
Sprinkle black pepper and the beef bouillon onion soup mix over the rice mixture. Stir thoroughly to incorporate the seasonings evenly.
Time: PT2M
Rest and Serve
Cover the pot and let the rice sit for 15 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and any remaining moisture to be absorbed. Fluff again before serving.
