Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef*
- 1 ½ cups cooked brown rice*
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
- 1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn kernels frozen, canned or roasted
- 1 cup salsa homemade or store-bought
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon chili powder or more to taste
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
- Lightly coat the inside of a 6-qt slow cooker with nonstick spray.
