Preparation Steps

• In a large skillet or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
• Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and celery to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
• Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
• Add the uncooked rice, chicken broth, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine.
• Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
• Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
• Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
