Cast Iron Dirty Rice is a traditional Creole dish from Louisiana that combines white rice with the trinity of Cajun aromatics (peppers, celery and onion) along with ground meat and other spices to give this dish its namesake “dirty” look. While many variations exist, my recipe for Cast Iron Dirty Rice is as easy to prepare as it is to consume. Looking to make this the star of the meal? Simply add some sausage, chicken or shrimp to the mix and you have got yourself dinner!
