To make this ground beef and rice skillet, I started by cooking some ground beef in a large saute pan over medium-high heat.

I added some diced onions to the pan with the ground beef while it was cooking.

I continued cooking the ground beef and onions and made sure to crumble the ground beef well.

Once the ground beef was fully cooked, I drained the grease from the pan.

Then I added some condensed chicken broth and water to the pan.

I also added some minute rice to the pan.

Then I gently stirred until all of the rice was submerged in the liquid.

I left the dish to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the rice absorbed all of the liquid.

Then I added some salsa, chili sauce, canned corn, canned chopped green chilies and taco seasoning to the pan.

I stirred all of the ingredients together really well and reduced the heat to medium-low.

I left the dish to simmer for a few more minutes.

Then I removed the pan from the heat and added some shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese.

I stirred the cheese into the ground beef mixture.

Then I sprinkled some more shredded cheese on top and did not stir it in.

I also sprinkled some dried chives on top of the cheese.

I waited a few minutes for the cheese to melt on top of the dish and then it was ready to serve.

This delicious ground beef and rice skillet is loaded with melted cheese and has a little bit of a spicy kick.
