Description

Dirty rice is a classic Cajun dish that gets its name from the ground meat used in the recipe, which gives the rice a "dirty" appearance. This easy dirty rice recipe with sausage is a flavorful and filling one-pot meal that can be made in under an hour.

Prep Time

15 minutes

Cook Time

40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground sausage
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 3 celery stalks, diced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups long-grain white rice
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 green onions, chopped (optional)

Equipment

  • Large skillet or Dutch oven
  • Wooden spoon
  • Cooking knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method

  1. In a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, cook the sausage until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
  2. Add the onion, bell pepper, and celery to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Add the rice to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the rice is lightly toasted.
  4. Add the chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, thyme, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
  6. Stir in the reserved sausage and green onions (if using). Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sausage is heated through.
  7. Remove from heat and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

This recipe can easily be adapted to suit your tastes. If you prefer a spicier dish, add more cayenne pepper or hot sauce. If you don't have ground sausage on hand, you can use ground beef or turkey instead. And if you want to add more veggies to the mix, feel free to throw in some diced carrots or zucchini.
