- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
- 1 15 ounces can whole kernel corn
- 1 c. beef broth
- 1 c. long-grain rice uncooked
- 1 c. shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ c. water
- ½ c. salsa
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 1 tsp salt

Instructions
- Cook the ground beef in a large skillet for about 4 - 5 minutes over medium heat until brown, breaking the meat into chunks.
- Once done, drain any excess grease and set the browned beef aside.
- Saute the onions in the same pan for 2 - 3 minutes.
- To the pan, add the ground beef along with the taco seasoning, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir well until everything is blended.
- Then, stir in the tomato sauce, salsa, beef stock, water, and rice.
- Bring everything to a boil on medium heat. Then, add the whole-kernel corn.
- Adjust the heat to low once the mixture is boiling, and let it simmer for 15 - 18 minutes. Stir the rice regularly to ensure the rice isn't sticking.

Notes
For more flavor, toss in some bell peppers or jalapenos.
How To Make it Gluten free
Opt to use gluten-free taco seasoning or make your own.
