Ingredients

1 pound ground beef, browned and drained

2 green onions, chopped

1 can (10 oz) mild Rotel tomatoes with chilies

4 oz cream cheese, softened and cubed

1½ cups chicken broth

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon cumin

Tony’s seasoning, to taste

Instructions

Brown the Beef
In a large pot over medium heat, cook the ground beef with chopped green onions until fully browned. Drain excess grease if necessary.

Add Cream Cheese
Reduce heat to medium-low. Add softened cream cheese and stir continuously until fully melted and incorporated.

Add Tomatoes & Broth
Stir in Rotel tomatoes (with juices), chicken broth, garlic powder, cumin, and Tony’s seasoning. Mix well.

Simmer
Cook on medium-low heat for 30–60 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing flavors to deepen and meld together.

Serve
Let rest for 5–10 minutes before serving to thicken slightly.

Notes

✔ Brown the beef well to develop deeper flavor.

✔ Soften cream cheese beforehand to prevent clumping.

✔ Taste before adding extra salt since seasoning blends and broth may already contain sodium.

✔ For extra brightness, add a squeeze of fresh lime juice before serving.

✔ Garnish with cilantro, shredded cheese, diced avocado, or a spoonful of sour cream.

✔ Stores well in the refrigerator for 3–4 days and reheats gently over low heat.
