Ingredients:
- 1 lb Lean Ground Beef
- 1 Small Onion, finely diced
- Salt & Pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp Homemade Taco Seasoning (or store-bought)
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 cup Long Grain White Rice
- 1 1/2 cups Beef Broth
- 1 can (15 oz) Sweet Corn Kernels, drained
- 8 oz Tomato Sauce
- 1/2 cup Chunky Salsa
- 1 cup Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend
Directions:
- Heat up a spacious skillet over medium heat. Add the lean ground beef, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook until it’s beautifully browned.
- Sprinkle the aromatic garlic powder and the tantalizing taco seasoning over the beef. Stir thoroughly to ensure every morsel is infused with those irresistible flavors.
- Pour in the beef broth, tomato sauce, and chunky salsa. Now, add the rice and the delightful sweet corn. Stir until all the ingredients are harmoniously combined.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the mixture to reach a gentle boil. Then, lower the heat to a simmer and let it bubble away for approximately 18 to 20 minutes, or until the rice becomes tender and absorbs all those savory juices.
- As the final touch, sprinkle a generous layer of shredded Mexican cheese blend over the top. Cover the skillet once more and let the cheese melt and blanket the dish in gooey goodness, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Gather your loved ones around the table and savor the delightful harmony of flavors in this Mexican Beef Fiesta Bake. It’s a fiesta for your taste buds!
Notes:
For added convenience, you can use instant rice instead of long grain rice. In that case, reduce the simmering time to approximately 5-7 minutes to achieve the desired rice tenderness.
