Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegan butter divided
  • 1/2 package 6 ounces vegan ground beef
  • 2 links 7 ounces vegan sausage
  • 1/2 cup green bell pepper seeded and finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup yellow onion finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons celery finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Creole seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup vegan chicken-style broth
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • 2 cups pre-cooked long-grain white rice chilled

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. When the butter is melted, crumble in the vegan ground beef and sausage. Cook for 5 minutes, using a spatula to break up any large pieces, until the "meat" is browned.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, green pepper, onion, celery, garlic, Creole seasoning, and black pepper. Cook for 3 minutes, until vegetables are softened.
  • Add the chicken-style broth and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in the cooked rice and continue cooking for 5 additional minutes, until heated through. Remove the bay leaf.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve hot.
