Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 (10 ounce) can Ro-Tel diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
  • 1 (4 ounce) can green chilies, drained
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, cubed
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese, divided
  • 1 cup crushed tortilla chips (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×9 inch baking dish.
  2. Brown the ground beef and chopped onion in a large skillet over medium heat until the beef is fully cooked and the onion is soft. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir the cream of mushroom soup, Ro-Tel, drained green chilies, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder into the skillet with the beef mixture.
  4. Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low.
  5. Add the cubed cream cheese to the skillet. Stir constantly until the cream cheese is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy, resembling queso.
  6. Stir in 1 cup of the shredded cheese until it melts into the mixture.
  7. Transfer the beef and cheese mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese evenly over the top.
  9. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
  10. Remove from the oven. Sprinkle the crushed tortilla chips over the top before serving hot.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika to the spice mixture.
  • You can substitute cream of chicken soup for cream of mushroom soup if preferred.
  • If you like more heat, add a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the queso mixture before baking.
