creole rice

This Instant Pot dirty rice is our version of a popular Creole dish with ground beef, bacon, onions, peppers and celery and a tasty mix of Cajun spices. It's a one-pot, family-friendly dish that can be served a with a side salad, coleslaw or steamed greens. We used a 6-quart Instant Pot for this recipe.

Instant Pot Dirty Rice

beef

Worcestershire sauce

Turn the Instant Pot and press the Saute function key. Once hot, add the oil, onions, celery, peppers and bacon and cook for 2 minutes, stirring a couple of times.

Add garlic and beef and cook for 2 more minutes, breaking the meat apart with a spatula until its color turned from red/pink to greyish.

Add 1.25 cups of well-rinsed rice, about 2 tablespoons of Cajun spice mix (see notes), a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce and 350 ml of veggie or chicken stock. Mix through and press Cancel to stop the Saute function.

Pop the lid on top, lock and make sure the top valve is pointing to Sealing. Press Manual/Pressure Cook and set the time to 4 minutes at HIGH pressure. The Instant Pot will take 5-8 minutes to build up the pressure first. Once the timer is finished, allow about 5 minutes for natural pressure release (NPR) but not much longer as the rice will keep cooking.

Use the quick release (point the valve to Venting) to let off the remaining pressure and open the lid. Stir through the rice and serve garnished with chopped scallions and parsley. We topped our rice with some fried shallots as well.

This is one of the tastiest recipes I have ever made in my instant pot!

I made this for supper tonight and it was so good.  Thank you for the recipe!

Tastes great! but way too spicy for my family’s and I only did 1 tbsp and 1 tsp. If your family isn’t a fan is spice I recommend cutting back on the Cajun seasoning quite a bit. We also swapped out the ground beef for smoked sausage.

I love this recipe! I’ve made it quite a few times now. We like spice in our house so I added more Cajun spice. The bacon is a great touch!!
