Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef (900 g)
- 1 cup diced onion (240 ml)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) chili powder
- 1 (8 ounce (227 g)) package cream cheese, softened and cut into pieces
- 4 cups beef broth (960 ml)
- 2 (14.5 ounce (411 g)) cans diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 (7 ounce (198 g)) can chopped mild green chiles
- 5 cup heavy cream (120 ml)
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) salt, or to taste
Instructions
- Place a large pot on the stove and set it to medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, onion, and garlic, then cook while stirring until the beef is browned and the onion becomes clear, about 5 to 7 minutes. If needed, remove and dispose of any excess fat.
- Incorporate the cumin and chili powder, and stir for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cream cheese pieces into the pot, mix thoroughly, and heat until the cheese is fully melted and no chunks are visible.
- Pour in the beef broth, diced tomatoes with their juice, green chiles, cream, and salt. Turn the heat down to medium and let it cook until everything is fully warmed, approximately 30 minutes or more if you prefer. Avoid letting it boil to prevent curdling or separation.
Notes
- For a lighter option, use ground turkey instead of ground beef for a healthier twist.
- Add a splash of lime juice or a dollop of sour cream as a garnish for extra freshness.
- Customize toppings with shredded cheese, avocado slices, or cilantro for a personalized touch.
