Dirty Rice

I use chicken broth instead of water. For a simple meal, I like to put pork chops on top and bake for about an hour or so.

1 c. rice
2 c. water or broth, boiling
1 lb. ground beef
1/2 c. onion, diced
1/2 c. each green and red bell peppers, diced
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. Cajun seasoning
1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. Brown ground beef with onion, bell peppers, salt and pepper; drain, but not too dry.
3. Put raw rice and boiling water/broth in a casserole. Add Cajun seasoning and garlic powder. Add ground beef mixture and stir.
4. Bake for 45 min. or until water is absorbed.
