ZATARAIN'S DIRTY RICE, JAZZED UP VERSION

Steps:

• In a large pot, combine ground beef and sausage, crumble and mix very well and brown over medium heat. Continue to stir and crumble meat until done.
• Drain fat.
• Add onions, garlic and Zatarains rice mix, (12oz) and specified amount of water (3-1/2 cups).
• Return to high heat, until boiling. Then reduce heat to simmer/low and cook covered for about 20 minutes until rice is tender.
• Stir occasionally.
• Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes.
• Do a final stir, and serve. I like mine with a little squirt of sriracha as it adds bit of heat and more flavor.
