Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon oil
- Β½ pound ground beef (lean)
- Β½ pound ground sausage (or all ground beef)
- Β½ cup chicken liver or chicken gizzards (minced, optional)
- 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
- 1 green bell pepper (diced)

Method
- In a heavy bottomed saucepan or dutch oven, heat oil then combine the ground beef, ground sausage and chicken liver. And cook over medium high heat until no longer pink.
- Add onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the onion has softened.
- Add the seasoning, cook for 30 more seconds.
- Add rice, chicken broth, bay leaves, and season with salt and pepper. Give it a stir, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to lowest setting possible, cover with a lid and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the liquid has been absorbed. Remove from heat, and allow to rest for about 5 minutes.
