A great way to use a pound of ground beef and make a dinner that all will love. It's so easy too! If you cannot find Mexicorn by Green Giant, you can use a regular can of corn or frozen corn. To control the heat of the dish, you can choose mild, medium or hot salsa!

I made this for lunch thinking my family would love it, but it didn't go over well. I think maybe using taco seasoning mix might give it a little more flavor?

Very easy and very tasty! My family loved it and so did my neighbours! Thanks for this great recipe. I used a bit more cheese since I love it cheesy. Sometimes I make this with half hamburger meat and half sausage which makes it even tastier!

A+++! Everyone: this is a keeper recipe! Super easy, fairly economical, quick, around-the-house-ingredients and packed with excellent taste! So, I halved the recipe, but kept the rice and chili powder quantity the same. I also added a pinch of cumin and diced up a dried habanero pepper because we like it HOT! Thanks so much Pam-I-Am....this one is going into the dinner rotation!
