Cajun Rice

Cajun Rice
1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 cup finely-diced bell pepper
1/3 cup diced green onion
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried celery flakes
1 teaspoon creole seasoning
1/4 teaspoon red pepper
4 cups long-grain rice, cooked and drained
1/4 cup water (to 1/3)
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
In fry pan stir in ground beef, bell pepper and cook on medium-high heat until beef looses its pink color and bell pepper is soft. Remove excess grease. Turn temperature down to medium or medium-low. Add remaining ingredients, stir and cook together until ground beef is completely cooked and liquid is gone about 25 to 35 minutes. More Creole seasoning and red pepper may be added for that Cajun at Heart. I like to use Tony Chacheres's.
