Cooking Instructions:

Begin by cooking the long grain rice according to the package directions, substituting water with beef broth for added flavor. Once cooked, set aside.

In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. If using, finely chop the chicken gizzards using a food processor and add them to the skillet, cooking until they're no longer pink.

Add the diced green bell pepper to the skillet and sauté until softened.

Sprinkle in the garlic powder, celery seed, and Creole seasoning. Stir well to guarantee the spices evenly coat the meat and vegetables.

Combine the cooked rice with the meat and spice mixture in the skillet. Stir to mix thoroughly, then adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. If the mixture appears dry, add a splash of water to help blend the flavors.

Allow the dish to cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and the desired consistency is reached.

For best results, consider using a cast iron skillet to enhance the flavor of the dish. If you're in a hurry, an Instant Pot can notably speed up the cooking process.

Remember that the amounts of spices can be adjusted according to your taste preference, so feel free to experiment until you find your perfect balance. Enjoy your homemade Cajun Rice as a delicious accompaniment to your favorite dishes!
