Viral Dirty Rice Recipe
This Viral Dirty Rice is made with basmati rice, seasoned ground beef, peppers, onions, French onion soup and beef consommé baked together for an easy, flavorful dinner.
Equipment
- 9" x 13" baking dish
Ingredients
- 1 Pound Ground Beef
- 1 Medium Red Bell Pepper, diced
- 1 Medium Onion, diced
- 3 Cloves Garlic, minced
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 2 Cups Basmati Rice, uncooked
- 10.5 Oz French Onion Soup
- 21 Oz (2 cans) Beef Consommé
- 1 Stick Butter, cut into pats
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Add the ground beef, diced red bell pepper and diced onion to a large skillet. Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder and sauté until the beef is browned and the peppers and onions have softened. Drain any excess grease from the skillet if necessary. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute.
- Add the uncooked basmati rice to a lightly greased 9 x 13" baking dish and spread it into a nice, even layer. This is important so the rice cooks evenly.
- Spoon the beef, pepper and onion mixture evenly over the uncooked rice. Do not stir the layers together. Pour the French onion soup and beef consommé evenly over everything. Again, do not stir.
- Cut the stick of butter into pats and distribute them evenly over the top. Cover the baking dish very tightly with aluminum foil. You want to trap all that steam inside because it’s what cooks the rice.
- Place it into the center rack of the oven for 1 hour. Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it rest, still covered, for 5–10 minutes. Remove the foil and gently fluff the rice, mixing everything together as you go. Serve warm and enjoy!
