Easy Cajun Dirty Rice

One-pan Cajun dirty rice with pork, beef, and bold spices. Easy, budget-friendly, and loaded with Louisiana flavor!

Why is it called “dirty” rice? The rice gets brown as it cooks with meat, Cajun spices, and the holy trinity of Cajun cooking: onion, bell pepper, and celery. My version combines ground pork and beef for a flavorful twist on this Louisiana classic!
