Scale
Meat & Seasonings
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1/4 cup water
Base and Flavor
- 1 jar Tostitos Salsa Con Queso (about 15 oz)
- 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
Add-ins
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 cup pinto beans or black beans, drained and rinsed
Instructions
- Brown Beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Season Beef: Stir in taco seasoning and water. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the water is absorbed and the beef is coated with seasoning.
- Combine Ingredients: Transfer the seasoned beef to a large Dutch oven or pot. Add salsa con queso, potato soup, sour cream, and both broths. Stir well until the sour cream is melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Mix in diced green chilies, frozen corn, and beans. Stir to combine evenly.
- Heat Through: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to develop flavors without boiling over.
- Serve: Ladle into bowls and serve hot with tortilla chips or Fritos. Garnish with jalapeños or toppings like shredded cheese or green onions if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- Ground Beef: Feel free to substitute with ground turkey, chicken, or plant-based crumbles for a different protein.
- Beans: Black beans can be used instead of pinto beans depending on your preference.
- Spice Level: Adjust spice by adding hot sauce or more taco seasoning for a kick.
- Toppings: Try adding shredded cheese, green onions, or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
- Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on stovetop or microwave.
