01

Step
0 mins

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

02

Step
6 mins

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

03

Step
5 mins

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.

04

Step
0 mins

Spray a casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. Pour the beef mixture into the casserole dish. Top with Cheddar cheese.

05

Step
20 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and filling is bubbling, about 20 minutes.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a can of diced green chiles to the beef mixture.
If you don't have Spanish rice mix on hand, you can substitute with plain cooked rice and add a pinch of cumin and chili powder to the beef mixture.
Garnish with your favorite Tex-Mex toppings such as sour cream, avocado, cilantro, or chopped tomatoes.
