OMG Dirty Rice

Tonight was a "there is ground beef in the fridge make something with it" kind of night. So I scoured pinterest for inspiration and came across this one from Dani's Recipe Creations. Obviously I needed to tweak it to be FODMAP friendly and I was feeling creative.

I called it "OMG" Dirty Rice because the whole time it was cooking I kept saying "OMG cook faster, this smells SO good"... I was just being super impatient because in all honesty this took about 35 min to cook.



To make this fabulous dirty rice you'll need:

  • 1 lb ground beef (the leaner the better)
  • 3 cups long grain white rice
  • 6.5 cups of beef broth (do your best to find one that is onion and garlic free for FODMAP purposes)
  • 1.5 tbsp gluten free soy sauce (you can use regular if you dont need to be gluten free)
  • 1.5 tbsp dried chives
  • 1 tbsp seasoned pepper (I used this one from McCormick)
  • 1/2 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp chipotle chili powder
  • 1/2 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tbsp dried sweet basil
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tbsp garlic infused olive oil
Start by heating the 2 tbsp garlic olive oil in a large pan or pot (this makes A LOT of rice, so use a big one) and then brown the ground beef. Once the beef is browned, add the broth, soy sauce, and seasonings.  Let the mixture come to a boil. After about 5 minutes, add the rice, stir and cover. Once all the liquid has been absorbed, stir the mixture and taste. Add salt if you need. (You may not depending on the type of broth and soy sauce you use). Make sure the rice is all the way cooked and you're set to go!
