Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Dutch Oven or Heavy Pot

Ingredients

Chili Base

  • 1 pound ground beef 80/20 works best for flavor
  • 1 packet taco seasoning or 2 tablespoons homemade
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 jar (15 oz) salsa con queso
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed potato soup do not dilute
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 can (4 oz) fire-roasted diced green chilis
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 can (15 oz) pinto or black beans drained and rinsed

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and break it up as it browns (about 5-7 minutes). Drain excess fat.
  • Add the taco seasoning and water, stirring until the water reduces and the meat is well-seasoned.
  • Transfer the beef to a large Dutch oven or heavy pot. Stir in salsa con queso, undiluted potato soup, and sour cream until well combined.
  • Pour in both broths, mixing thoroughly until the sour cream has melted completely.
  • Add the fire-roasted green chilis, corn, and beans. Stir to combine.
  • Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. If too thick, add extra broth as needed.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños, chipotle powder, or hot sauce. Letting it simmer for longer enhances the flavors.
