  1. In a dutch oven or heavy pot on medium high heat add the ground beef. Saute and break up the meat until there is no pink remaining. Drain most of the fat, leaving some to fry the vegetables in. Add diced yellow onion, garlic, red pepper and celery to the pot. Saute until tender.
  2. Add in the broth, cayenne pepper, thyme, and rice.
  3. Stir gently to mix and bring up to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes until the rice is tender.
  4. Remove from the heat and stir in the chopped green onions and parsley and let sit covered for 10 minutes before serving.
  5. Garnish with fresh diced green onions and parsley and serve.
