Description

Dirty Rice is a classic Cajun dish that is traditionally made with ground pork, ground beef, chicken livers, rice, onion, celery, and bell pepper and is flavored with cayenne and paprika. This Crock Pot Dirty Rice is an easy version of the classic recipe that is cooked in a slow cooker for an easy weeknight dinner. It’s a great way to enjoy a southern favorite without all the fuss.

Prep Time

This Crock Pot Dirty Rice recipe only takes about 15 minutes of prep time. You will need to brown the ground beef and pork before adding it to the slow cooker. Once that is done, simply add the other ingredients to the slow cooker, turn it on, and let it do the rest of the work!

Cook Time

This Crock Pot Dirty Rice recipe cooks in the slow cooker for 3-4 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low. You can also set the slow cooker to the “warm” setting to keep the dish warm until you are ready to serve it.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 cup diced celery
  • 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups long grain white rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onion (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and pork over medium-high heat until it is browned. Drain any excess fat.
  2. In the slow cooker, combine the cooked beef and pork, onion, celery, bell pepper, cayenne, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, rice, and chicken broth.
  3. Stir to combine and cover the slow cooker.
  4. Cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours. The rice should be tender and the liquid should be absorbed.
  5. Garnish with chopped green onion and serve.

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Slow cooker

Notes

You can use ground turkey or chicken in place of the beef and pork if you prefer. You can also substitute long grain brown rice for the white rice, but you may need to adjust the cooking time. If you are using brown rice, you may need to cook it for an additional 30 minutes or so.
