Ingredienser
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup long grain rice
  • 1 (15 oz) can red beans, drained
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 green onions, chopped

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, half the diced onion, half the diced bell pepper, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning, and salt. Mix until evenly combined, then shape into a loaf.
  • Place the meatloaf into a loaf pan and bake for 50 minutes, or until the center reaches 160 degrees F.
  • While the meatloaf bakes, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining onion and bell pepper and cook for 3 minutes until softened. Stir in the remaining garlic clove, 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning, rice, red beans, and chicken broth.
  • Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover the skillet, and cook for 20 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  • Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice and serve alongside the red beans and rice. Sprinkle chopped green onions over the top before eating.

Let the meatloaf rest before slicing so the juices stay inside rather than spilling out onto the plate. If the Cajun seasoning you use is very spicy, start with 2 tablespoons total and taste the bean mixture before adding the last tablespoon. Leftovers reheat well in a covered skillet with a splash of broth to loosen the rice.
