Mexican Rice Casserole

From Aliisa:

We just recently tried this recipe, I got it off of gayle's blog the grocery cart challenge, its a great site to check out!! I did tweak it just a little but my whole family loves it.

1 lb ground meat
1 onion chopped
1 cup long grain rice
2 cups water
1 (16 oz) jar salsa
1 can mexicorn (I didnt have this so I used regular corn and it turned out great)
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp garlic
1 cup cheddar cheese shredded

Place the 2 cups of water and long grain rice in a medium sauce pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until done.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

IN a skillet, brown meat and drain. Plain in mixing bowl.

In mixing bowl, add salsa, chili powder, corn, salt, cumin, garlic and rice. Mix

Spray a 2 quart casserole dish, put mixture in, cover and bake for 30 minutes.

At 30 minutes, add shredded cheese on top and bake for 5 more minutes.

Remove and serve.

Hope you enjoy it!!
