Ingredients:

• 4 1/4 Cups Water or Broth
• 1/2 Cup Chilau Stew Base
• 3 Cups Jasmine Rice
• 2 lbs Ground beef
• 1 Tbsp Butter 1/2 onion chopped
• 1 green bell pepper chopped

Preparation

1. Start with the Veggies: In a large skillet or Dutch oven, melt a tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and green bell pepper to the pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and sauté until the vegetables are soft and the onions are translucent.
2. Brown the Beef: To the skillet, add 2 lbs of ground beef. Break it apart with a spoon and cook until it's fully browned and no longer pink. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and to mix the flavors with the sautéed onions and peppers.
3. Add Liquids and Season: Once the beef is browned, pour in 4 1/4 cups of water or broth into the skillet. Stir in 1/2 cup of Chilau Creole Trinity Stew Base, blending it well with the beef and vegetable mixture. Taste the mixture and adjust the salt and other seasonings according to your preference.
4. Incorporate the Rice: Bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Then, carefully stir in 3 cups of Jasmine rice, ensuring it's well distributed throughout the liquid. Follow the water-to-rice ratio as advised on the rice package to ensure perfect texture.
5. Cook the Rice: After adding the rice, reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer, covered, until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid. This will typically take about 18-20 minutes, but the exact time can vary based on the rice used.
6. Oven Option: For an evenly cooked texture, you have two oven-finish options: *Dutch Oven Finish:* If you're using a Dutch oven or an oven-safe pot, you can transfer it directly into a preheated 350°F oven and bake for 30 minutes. *Pan Transfer:* Alternatively, pour the boiling rice mixture into a long baking pan, cover it tightly with foil, and bake in a 350°F oven. This method also ensures an even cook throughout.
7. Enjoy Your Meal: Once the rice is fluffy and all the liquid is absorbed, remove your Dirty Rice from the oven or stove. Let it sit for a few minutes, then fluff with a fork before serving. Enjoy the rich, flavorful blend of Creole spices, tender rice, and savory ground beef—a true taste of Southern comfort in every bite.
