Cajun rice from a restaurant or box can have a lot of sodium and fat. Here’s a hearty, healthy way to trim it down. —Raquel Haggard, Edmond, Oklahoma

Cajun Beef & Rice

beef

celery ribs, chopped

green pepper, chopped

sweet red pepper, chopped

onion

water

instant brown rice

parsley

Worcestershire sauce

beef bouillon granules

Cajun seasoning

red pepper flakes

pepper

garlic powder

25g protein. Diabetic Exchanges: 3 lean meat

In a large skillet, cook beef, celery, green and red peppers, and onion over medium heat until beef is no longer pink, 8-10 minutes; crumble beef; drain.

Stir in remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until rice is tender, 12-15 minutes.

I like this, reminds me of stuffed bell peppers with a cajun kick. I used white rice, I tried it with brown rice as well, but I prefer the white rice.

Meh, I should have put some regular grounded beef and regular bouillon I guess.

Recipe a good one.  But why don't you make these printable recipes more user friendly?  Why have to go to 2 pages when you could so easily format it to fit one 1 simple page?

I was looking for a new recipe for beef and craving Cajun and this was the perfect recipe for just that. I added some tomato’s  I also used beef broth instead of water and skipped the beef bouillon cubes  I also added 4 different types of Cajun seasons in the amount of two tablespoons and  Added some garlic  And for the instant rice I used  Zatarans jambalaya!! Made some garlic cheese bread to go with it and it was delicious, I know I didn’t follow the recipe exactly but as a home chef you improvise to your taste and what you have on hand! Good base to follow though

Looked good, easy & fast to make but way too bland, no flavor, even when adding more spices .... normally I can figure out how to make a recipe better but couldn't come up with anything for this ..... I didn't like it, hubby & kids didn't like it .... won't make this again .... just yuck !!

It's a good weeknight recipe. Some people compared to Dirty Rice, but I don't think this one is supposed to be Dirty Rice, people don't even read the title correctly. It has a Cajun flair, though.

Excellent recipe. I would make one change. Instead of cooking the peppers and celery with the ground beef I would brown the beef first then add the peppers and celery and just cook for a minute or two before adding the rest of the ingredients. The peppers and celery were mushy when cooked with the beef..The taste good, spicy but not too hot

Wanted a quick cajun dinner and tried this one.  As I am living by myself, I cut the recipe by 50%.  I substituted beef broth for the water and bullion cubes made with beef base for the water.  I served it, and put the dish back in the pan and added an 8 oz can of tomato sauce and a half of cup of frozen corn.  With those modifications it was ok.  Don't know if I will ever make it again.

Loved this!!!  So quick & easy!! Even my 5yo who "hates" peppers cleaned her plate!

Great recipe and I see it being so versatile!  It reminds me a lot of the mixture I use when I make stuffed green peppers...but with some added kick!  My son loved it too; he used tortilla chips to scoop what was leftover the next day.  Instant nachos!

Quick and easy to make and tastes great.  Served with a salad for a great meal.

My husband and I really enjoyed this recipe.  Next time I make it I'll add extra spice because enjoy more highly seasoned dishes.  Incidentally, I noticed a reviewer wrote that this recipe isn't Cajun dirty rice.  Well, dirty isn't in the recipe's title.

This was great.  We had all the stuff on hand for a quick and easy supper.  It took no time.  It would be great with some crusty bread and a salad.

This is one of our favorites for a quick, satisfying and yummy meal.

It’s close, but not Cajun dirty rice. Real Cajun dirty rice has ground up or finely chopped chicken gizzards, and sone also use livers,  plus we would never use instant rice. The rice needs to cook with the ingredients so it’ gets the flavor.

I agree with Andrea--this was easy to make and very tasty. Had just the right hotness from the crushed red pepper. Served with fresh fruit and it was a big hit. Will make again.

We’ve made this several times, including using cauliflower “rice.”  It’s one of my husband’s favorites.
