Too much bell pepper and celery. No cast iron pot available?

That pots going to be rough for getting the brown bits to stick (which is where the color comes from) but it’ll still turn out fine to eat. Good luck

I have 5 pounds of meat, 5 cups of rice.

Should I halve the pepper and celery?

Yes

The pork's already cooking in the pot so that's what we're going with.

It will work. When you cover seal the lid really well. I've used towels to wrap around the lid before. That pot will lose heat so you will need all your steam to keep as long as it can. Also keep your fire on med/low instead of low after you cover using that pot.

Cool. That's what I've been doing. Have a decent layer of fond.

don't forget the roux, okra and tomatoes.

You didn't get enough on the bottom of the pot and enough cooking down of the veggies it seems.

Looks like rice with sausage.

Can't tell if the rice is popped, but it looks like it. The color is off though. Need to either brown the meat a lot more or cook down your onions until they're caramelized more.
