Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef and sausage; cook and stir, breaking into small pieces, until they begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Add onion, bell peppers, celery, and garlic. Continue to cook and stir until meat is fully browned, 3 to 4 minutes more. Stir in soy sauce, black pepper, paprika, oregano, Cajun seasoning, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt.

Step 2

Stir in broth and bay leaves. Let simmer for 6 to 8 minutes. Fold in rice, 1 cup at a time, until fully coated. Mix in parsley. Simmer for 6 to 8 more minutes. Discard bay leaves and serve.
