Dirty Rice

 

I made this once, and now it is a frequently made dinner in our house! Super delicious on its own, but I pair it with a salad and crusty bread for a rounded meal.

4 oz bacon, chopped

1 lb breakfast sausage

1 medium onion, chopped

1 rib celery, chopped

1/2 bell pepper, chopped

1 tbsp garlic, minced

2 tsp Cajun seasoning

1 bay leaf

1/2 tsp dried thyme

14 oz chicken broth

1-1/2 cups long grain rice

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Set your instant pot to saute and toss in the first 6 ingredients. Saute until onions are clear (about 10 minutes). Make sure you break up the sausage well and stir often. Turn IP off and pour in rest of ingredients; stir to combine. Set IP to manual (high) for 15 minutes. Once time is up, let it naturally release for 10 minutes, then manually release pressure. Remove the bay leaf, stir, and serve.
