Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef 80/20
  • 1 15 oz can chili without beans
  • 2 16 oz cans pinto beans
  • 1 10 oz can Ro-Tel tomatoes
  • 1 lb Velveeta cheese
  • 1/2 medium white onion diced
  • 1 15 oz can stewed tomatoes
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 2 tsp taco seasoning
  • Fritos optional for topping

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté until the onions are soft and fragrant. Drain any excess grease.
  • Transfer the cooked beef and onions to a large pot or crockpot.
  • Add the chili without beans, pinto beans, Ro-Tel tomatoes, and stewed tomatoes. Stir everything together.
  • Cut the Velveeta into cubes and add it to the mixture.
  • Stir in the taco seasoning and mix well.
  • If cooking on the stovetop, simmer on low for 30 to 40 minutes until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy. If using a crockpot, cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
  • Once the soup is finished cooking, remove from heat and stir in the sour cream until fully combined.
