Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, chopped

1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
1 (15 oz) can whole kernel corn
1 cup beef broth
½ cup water
½ cup salsa
8 oz tomato sauce
1 cup long-grain rice, uncooked

Instructions

In a large skillet, over medium heat, brown the ground beef, breaking up clumps as it cooks, for 4 to 5 minutes.

Drain any excess grease off the meat and set aside the cooked beef.

To the pan, add the onions and cook, stirring regularly for 2 to 3 minutes.

Return the ground beef to the pan and add in the taco seasoning, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir to combine.

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat then add in the whole kernel corn.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 to 18 minutes, checking and stirring regularly to make sure the rice isn’t sticking.
