Ok this is an easy recipe. Just dump, stir, and cook... I like mine with a bit of bite to it. If you have kids you may want to back down on the red pepper. I like to eat this with Club Crackers and a cold beer but its good all on its on. It reheats great too.... makes quite a bit.

2 cups rice (Uncle Bens long grain works best)
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 can Cream of Chicken soup
1 can Cream of Mushroom soup
1 can French Onion soup
1 1/2 soup cans of water
1 onion chopped
1/2 chopped Bell pepper
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 TBL. salt
1 tsp. RED PEPPER ( this is a little spicey, cut down to your taste)
1 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. black pepper


Brown your meat with the onions. Get a 11 X 13 X 1 1/2" baking pan. Now combine ALL the ingredients, the meat, the soups, the rice, the spices and stir all together throughly. (Don't worry, it will taste much better than it looks at this point) Cover with aluminum foil and bake in a pre-heated oven at 350 degrees for about 1 hour and 10-15 minutes OR until your rice is done... if you like spicey cajun this is one of my favorite cajun recipes... I shared this on another forum and it has had more than a hundred thousand hits, its so easy and really is good. Hope you enjoy.

Ground calf liver maybe?

I know that texasggm fellor and know where this was posted down on the coast.

When did that thread start on there? It has been awhile since I have been over there but knew exactly what it was when I clicked it lol.

Is the rice uncooked or cooked?

Going to try this in a crock pot, using cooked brown rice.

I just looked and it was only a few days ago, March of 2007...

With that much water in the recipe, it'd have to be uncooked when ya put it all together.
Cooking rice- you use about 1 part rice & 2 parts water. And you'd get a little more water from the onion & bell pepper.
Cooked rice, plus the water would make a thick soup, or real, real soft/overcooked rice.

4 cups water....2 cups of rice Covered pot, simmer for 18-20 minutes

The rice is UNCOOKED in the recipe

Bump.... Just thought I would give everyone a heads up. This dish is great for New Years Eve gatherings. Its requested every year at our house. Makes a bunch, its super easy, and really is good. Give it a try. Happy New Year everyone.

I doubled this recipe and made it for or men�s group meeting at church last night and they ate every bit of it thanks that will go in our menu rotation

Sounds like a plan! Keep us informed on the crock pot...time, temp, etc.

We prepared two pans of Dirty Rice for our families Mothers Day get together pot luck lunch, NONE left, was a huge hit. So easy to prepare and reheats very well IF you have any left over. Give it a try sometimes.

I am trying that.

I made this tonight and am eating it right now. This is such a simple recipe and it is AMAZING! Thanks a lot! A will definitely be making this many more times to come!

I assume the Red Pepper is Cayenne Pepper and not Red Pepper Flakes.

Going to try this recipe did you use a white or yellow onion

Cayenne pepper and either a white or a yellow onion will work just fine. Let me know if you like it.

I just put a half batch of this in the oven. The whole recipe was too much for just my wife and me. I replaced the red pepper with Tony Chacere's. I will let everyone know how it turned later.

I'm going to have to try this, it sounds good!

My wife and I don't care for mushrooms but we thought we would try the recipe as is mostly to see if we like it. We both said we wouldn't fix it again just because of the Cream of Mushroom soup. If I do it again I will leave out the mushrooms completely.

I cooked it. It was good. I’m going to try it again, but modify a couple of things to my taste. I will report back.

Thanks.

Tried it today for a party of eight. Doubled the recipe which was a mistake as I put it all in one larger pan. Having a hard time getting the rice cooked. Still crunchy after almost two hours. Sampled it and it tasted good except the rice was crunchy.

If you don't like mushrooms, a can of Cream of Celery will work.
I precook my rice using three large bags of Success Boil in the Bag Rice.
You have to use a green bell pepper and fresh celery to complete the Holy Trinity. 2# of ground chuck gets browned with the veggies. The soups are in a pan, blended together with a mixer to remove the lumps and make it smooth and then heated.
The rice gets mixed in with the meat & veggies then the soups get folded in. Salt and pepper and you're good to go. I don't care for hot food so I don't use the cayenne pepper.
The key to any cajun cooking is celery, green pepper, and onion. I use it in everything, dirty rice, gumbo, ettoufee

Wow that sounds really good...but I am not sure if it will work with my Keto diet lol.

I made this recipe on Thanksgiving day and it was badass, everyone loved it!! Thanks for sharing it!

Man this stuff is good! Thanks Texasggm!
Made a little East Texas andouille sausage addition and the wife loved it!

Dirty Beans is her favorite anytime I’m fishing tournaments in La so I made her a pot of red beans to go with it

i made up a batch of Garry’s Cajun Dirty Rice for supper this afternoon. Followed the recipe on everything but the red pepper. Only used 1/2 tsp. and it had just enough kick. Great stuff! Looking forward to leftovers tomorrow.
