Cajun Crawfish Stuffing
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 3/4 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 pounds frozen peeled crawfish tails, thawed
  • 1 cup toasted, chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 bunch green onions, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Creole seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1
Start by placing water in a medium-sized saucepan and bringing it to the boiling point. Next, gently incorporate rice into the water mixture.
2
Reduce heat and cover the saucepan with a lid to allow for gentle simmering, which should take around 20 minutes. At this point, the rice is tender and has absorbed most of its liquid.
3
Preheat your oven to a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Take a medium-sized baking dish and lightly coat it with oil or cooking spray to prevent food from sticking.
4
In a large, heavy skillet over medium heat, combine ground beef, onion, celery, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and garlic.
5
Allow the mixture to cook until the ground beef is evenly browned and the vegetables are tender, which should take some time.
6
Combine cooked rice with crawfish tails, chopped pecans, melted butter, and green onions in the skillet.
7
Add a pinch of Creole seasoning and some pepper to give it extra flavor, then mix everything together.
8
Continue cooking the mixture for about 3 minutes to allow all the flavors to meld.
9
Transfer the rice and ground beef mixture to the prepared baking dish.
10
Place it in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until it's lightly browned.
11
Finally, garnish the dish with some fresh parsley to add a pop of color and freshness.
