I will never alter this recipe. It is just perfect as it was written. I found it on Genius kitchen by Folkdiva as a true cajun dirty rice. We eat a LOT of this.

2 pounds ground beef

2 cups onion, chopped

1 cup green bell pepper, chopped

1 cup celery, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup dark roux – bacon grease/flour

1 tablespoon cajun seasoning

1 teaspoon salt

6 cups beef stock

2 bay leaves

2 tablespoons worcestershire

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon hot sauce

1 teaspoon black pepper

15 cups cooked white rice

Garnish: green onion, fresh parsley, hot sauce

In a skillet, brown the beef. Do not drain. Add all the veggies. Cook on low for 10-20 minutes or until very cooked. Add roux. Continue to stir. Add the remaining ingredients except rice and garnishes. Cover and simmer on low for 2 hours. Stir every 30 minutes.
