Scale
Meat and Seasonings
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1/4 cup water
Sauces and Broths
- 1 jar Tostitos Salsa Con Queso
- 1 can potato soup (10.75 oz)
- 1 1/4 cups sour cream
- 1 can fire-roasted diced green chilies (4 oz)
- 1 1/4 cups beef broth
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
Vegetables and Add-ins
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 cup pinto beans or black beans, drained and rinsed
Instructions
- Brown Beef: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Season Beef: Add taco seasoning and water to the skillet with beef. Stir well and cook until the liquid is mostly absorbed, about 3-5 minutes.
- Combine Ingredients: Transfer the seasoned beef to a Dutch oven or large pot. Pour in the salsa con queso, potato soup, sour cream, and both broths. Stir thoroughly until the sour cream is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Stir in the fire-roasted chilies, frozen corn, and beans. Mix well to distribute evenly.
- Heat Through: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and flavors meld.
- Serve: Ladle into bowls and serve hot with tortilla chips or Fritos. Garnish with jalapeños or your favorite toppings for extra flavor.
Notes
- Ground Meat Options: Substitute with ground turkey, chicken, or plant-based options for different flavors.
- Beans Choice: Use pinto or black beans based on your preference or what you have on hand.
- Adjust Spice: Increase or decrease taco seasoning, or add hot sauce for spicier chili.
- Serving Suggestions: Top with shredded cheese, sour cream, green onions, or additional hot sauce for extra flavor.
- Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or microwave.
