Super easy  one-pot dish filled with ground beef, tomatoes, corn, rice, and Mexican spices.
One Pot Mexi Beef & Corn Bake | Diary of a Recipe Collector

 I’ve been running around like a crazy woman since last week.  I. need. a. break.  Seriously.  Last week, all 4 kiddos were home for Thanksgiving break.  Can you say, “Get nothing done!”  I’ve found one key to my sanity when this happens.  We must get out of the house!  So we did.  We went to the park and to the bounce house.  They also played outside a lot.  So when you are not at home, housework does not get done, blog photos do not get edited, and posts do not get  typed.

Then there was the 2 day Thanksgiving process…one day of cooking and one day of eating and visiting family.

Then there was Black Friday shopping.  My mom, my sister, and I were pretty much gone all day on Friday.  My wonderful husband watched all the kids by himself all day.  ( I think he was a little leery…but he made it!)

Saturday was a slumber party at my mom’s for my daughter and my cousin’s daughters, and friends.  It was filled with decorating sugar cookies, doing hair, make-up, nails, hot chocolate, popcorn, and a movie.  Phew!!

Sunday was a birthday party, cheer practice, and I went to the funeral home for my good friend’s grandfather.

Let’s just say I’m ready for some normalcy!

One Pot Mexi Beef & Corn Bake | Diary of a Recipe Collector

This One-Pot Mexi-Beef & Corn Bake is one of those “normalcy” meals.  I make this when it’s a regular weekday, and I need something quick and easy to make.  This meal would be perfect during the next three weeks as we all get ready for the Christmas madness!  My family loved it.  And I love that it was all made in one-pot!

Plus, it’s all the things we love:  Mexican flavors, corn, cheese, rice, tomatoes, and ground beef

    I totally hear you! Having the kids home last week gave me summer flashbacks! I ended up just throwing my hands up in the air…and getting nothing done, lol. This looks so good! I am trying to make more casserole type dinners to keep things easier in the evenings.

      It’s not so much of a frenzy anymore since they moved all the sales to Thanksgiving day. Boo! Thanks Andi!
