Instant Pot Dirty Rice

Equipment

  • Instant Pot | Pressure Cooker

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. Ground Beef
  • 1 lb. Ground Pork Sausage
  • 3 tbsp. Cajun/Creole Seasoning or season to taste
  • 2 Cups Diced Onion, Bell Pepper, & Celery also called seasoning blend
  • 2 tbsp. Butter
  • 1 tbsp. Minced Garlic
  • 1.5 cups Long Grain Rice rinsed
  • 1 tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce
  • 3 cups Chicken Broth
  • Diced Green Onions optional

Instructions
 

  • First, put your Instant Pot on “Saute” mode and brown your ground beef and ground pork sausage.  Add in your Cajun/Creole seasoning while you are browning your meat.
  • Once your ground beef and ground pork sausage are browned drain most of the grease from your Instant Pot only leaving about a couple of Tbsp of grease on the bottom.
  • Next add your diced onion, bell pepper, and celery to your Instant Pot and cook them down for about 5 minutes until they brown a bit.
  • Then add your minced garlic, long grain rice, and butter to your Instant Pot.  Continue to cook this all together on the“saute” mode for about 3 minutes.  You want to lightly toast your rice in the butter.  You will need to continuously scrape the bottom of your pot with a plastic spatula so that your rice does not stick to the bottom and burn.
  • Next, add your Worcestershire sauce and chicken broth.  Scrape the bottom of the pot to make sure you get any pieces that might be stuck to the bottom off of the pot.
  • Next, close the lid and turn the steam release valve to the “sealing” position.
  • Then press the “Pressure Cook” button.  Next, press the “Pressure Level” button until you have selected “High Pressure”.
  • Turn the timer on for 3 minutes. Once pressure builds up, the timer will start counting down.
  • After the timer has completed allow your Instant Pot to naturally release the pressure for 10 minutes.  Then quick release any remaining pressure after that.  **Warning– The steam is very hot, use a towel to turn the release valve so it does not burn you. 
  • That’s it!  Sprinkle your diced green onions on top and your Instant Pot Dirty Rice is ready to be served.
