Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Cook the ground beef: In a large skillet or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
2. Add onion and seasonings: Add the diced onion to the skillet with the cooked ground beef. Season with salt, pepper, taco seasoning, and garlic powder. Cook until the onion is softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add rice and broth: Stir in the long grain white rice until well combined with the beef and onion mixture. Pour in the beef broth, ensuring that the rice is fully submerged.
4. Incorporate corn and sauce: Add the drained corn and tomato sauce to the skillet, stirring to combine. Then, spoon in the salsa, distributing it evenly throughout the mixture.
5. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and let the casserole simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and tender.
6. Melt the cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the casserole. Cover the skillet once more and let it sit for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and gooey.
7. Serve: Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the One-Pot Mexican Rice Casserole hot, garnished with chopped cilantro or sliced green onions if desired.
