  • 1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup beef broth

Instructions:

  1. Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef to the pot and cook it until it is browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.
  2. Stir in the Cajun seasoning, onion, and green bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
  3. Pour in the diced tomatoes and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and stir in the rice.
  4. Cover the pot and simmer the Cajun beef and rice for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. Serve the Cajun beef and rice hot.

Tips:

  • You can adjust the level of spice in this recipe by using more or less Cajun seasoning. For a spicier dish, use more seasoning, and for a milder dish, use less.
  • You can also add some other vegetables to the dish, such as diced carrots, celery, or zucchini. Just add them along with the onion and green bell pepper in step 2.
  • For a thicker sauce, you can increase the amount of diced tomatoes in the recipe. Just make sure to stir it well so that it is fully combined with the other ingredients.
  • If you prefer a creamier sauce, you can add some heavy cream or coconut cream to the pot along with the beef broth.
