Ingredients

  • ½ pound ground beef

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • ½ cup diced onion

  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning

  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

  • 1 cup chicken broth

  • ½ (15.25 ounce) can corn, drained

  • ½ (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained

  • ½ (5.6 ounce) package Spanish rice mix (such as Knorr®)

  • ½ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef until browned and crumbly, about 6 minutes. Drain off any grease.

  3. Add butter and onion to the skillet. Saute until onion is softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle in taco seasoning and pour in tomato sauce. Stir to combine. Add broth, corn, black beans, Spanish rice mix, and salsa; mix well.
