  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chili)

Optional Serving Suggestions:

Instructions

  • Heat a medium skillet over medium high heat. Add the beef, breaking apart with a spoon. Sprinkle with cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, and ½ salt, stirring to combine. Cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Drain any excess grease, then carefully transfer the cooked beef mixture to a 6-quart slow cooker. Add the diced tomatoes with green chili and ½ teaspoon salt, string to combine.
  • Cover and cook on high for 2-3 hours, or low for 4-5 hours, or until the beef is very tender.
  • Add the cream cheese and cheese, stirring until melted and well incorporated. Add the lime juice and stir again. Taste and add additional salt or hot sauce if desired.
  • Turn the slow cooker to warm and serve. If making ahead, store the cooled tip covered and refrigerated for 3-5 days. To serve, add back to the slow cooker, and reheat on low for 1-2 hours.
