This Instant Pot recipe is going to be one that you turn to time and time again. It’s easy to make, saves you time, and it is packed full of amazing Cajun flavor. Although traditional Dirty Rice usually has fresh chicken liver as an ingredient, we opted not to use it in this recipe. Instead, we used fresh ground pork which added great flavor to the final dish. This Instant Pot Dirty Rice is definitely gonna have your family Ragin’ Cajun at the dinner table.
