Ingredients
Scale

- 1 cup picante sauce (I used mild)
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 2 cups grated cheddar cheese
- 1 large tomato, diced
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Heat a pan over medium high heat. Add in the ground beef. Break up the ground beef. Add in 1 Tbsp of the taco seasoning. Brown the ground beef for 5 minutes. Transfer the meat to the slow cooker.
- Pour the broth on top of the beef. Sprinkle the rice evenly over the ground beef and broth. Sprinkle the remaining 1 Tbsp of taco seasoning on top of the rice. Layer the picante sauce and frozen corn on top.
- Cover and cook on high for 2 hours, or until rice is tender. (Remember all slow cookers cook differently).
- Sprinkle in the cheese, tomato and cilantro. Stir. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and enjoy.
