INGREDIENTS
-1 lb ground beef
-1 small onion, diced
-salt & pepper, to taste
-2 tbsp. Taco seasoning
-1 tsp. garlic powder
-1 cup long-grain white rice,
-1 1/2 cups beef broth
-1 15 oz. can corn, drained
-8 oz. tomato sauce
-1/2 cup salsa
-1 cup shredded cheese
Steps
Get a big skillet, and then cook your ground beef, seasoning this with some pepper and salt over a medium-high heat skillet, until it browns.
When you’re finished, drain the extra grease that you get from this.
Take the pan and then put it back onto your stove. Top it with some beef, and then the garlic powder along with the taco seasoning, mixing all of this together.
Take the rice and put it inside the pan with the beef as well. Once mixed, add in the broth, the corn, the salsa, and the tomato sauce, taking all of the ingredients and stirring all of this together until fully incorporated and nicely mixed together.
With this same pan, heat it up, boiling this, and then, add a lid to the top of this in order to cover the whole thing. Turn the heat to low, and then let it continue to sit a t a low simmer for around 18-20 minutes, or until the rice becomes nice and tender, and everything is mixed together
Put cheese on top of this, and then cover this up once more. let this cook for another 2-3 minutes until it fully melts the cheese. Then, serve!
