Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef
1 pound beef sausage
1 onion, finely diced
1 (8 ounce) package dirty rice mix
2 cups water
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
2 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans, drained
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, sausage, and onion until cooked; drain off any excess grease.
In a large pan, combine rice mix and 2 cups of water. Add diced tomatoes and green chilies. Stir in the kidney beans until well combined. Bring the mixture to a boil, then add the cooked meat mixture. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Return to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover the pan tightly, and simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook for approximately 25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and easily fluffed with a fork.
