Ingredients

  • ¾ pound ground pork sausage mild or spicy, depending on your preferences, you can use a 16 ounce roll of sausage if that's what you have
  • 1 medium onion minced
  • 2 stalks celery minced
  • 5-6 cloves garlic minced or pressed
  • 1 green bell pepper seeded and chopped
  • 2 cups long-grain white rice
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 10 dashes Tabasco sauce
  • ½ teaspoon salt-based Cajun or Creole Seasoning like Tony Chachere’s; you may want more or less depending on how hot you want your rice to be
  • Kosher salt to taste I used 1/2 teaspoon, but again, this will largely be to taste
  • 4 cups beef broth high elevations may need up to 1/4 cup more
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped green onions

Instructions

  • Preheat a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until it is about halfway browned. Add the onion, celery, garlic, and green pepper and cook until the sausage is cooked and the vegetables are tender and fragrant.
  • Add the rice and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Add the Tabasco, Cajun seasoning, and black pepper and stir until combined. Add the beef broth and bring to a boil. Cover tightly, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the moisture is absorbed (again, higher elevations may take as long as 45 minutes).
  • Season to taste with salt and Tabasco sauce. If desired, toss with green onions before serving. Makes 10-12 servings.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and enjoy within 4-5 days for best results.
