Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 lb ground pork
  • 1/2 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 lb smoked sausage, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes, with juice
  • 14.5 oz can chicken broth
  • cups cabbage, chopped
  • 1/2 cup long-grain rice
  • 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, brown the ground pork, ground beef, and sausage over medium heat. Stir to cook evenly.
  • Add chopped onion, celery, and bell pepper. Sauté until vegetables soften and sausage is fully cooked.
  • Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 2 minutes.
  • Pour in diced tomatoes with juice and chicken broth. Add the chopped cabbage and stir well.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning.
  • Stir in rice, reduce heat, and simmer uncovered for 35–40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Once rice and cabbage are tender and most liquid is absorbed, remove from heat.
  • Serve hot with optional extra Cajun seasoning or hot sauce.

Notes

For extra heat, add cayenne or a dash of hot sauce. To switch it up, try using shrimp instead of sausage for a seafood twist on Cajun Cabbage Jambalaya.
