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.
Serve warm with Fritos, tortilla chips, or your favorite toppings.
