Ingredients:
  • 1 pound Certified Angus Beef ® ground beef, 90% lean
  • 1 tablespoon canola or light olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon cumin powder
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 (4-ounce) can diced green chilies, choose hot or mild
  • 1 (10-ounce) can Rotel fire roasted tomatoes and green chilies
  • 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk, unsweetened
  • 1 cup (4-ounces) freshly grated cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups (8 ounces) freshly grated jack cheese
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons sour cream
Instructions:
  1. Heat a large high sided skillet over medium high heat. Add oil and brown the beef until no pink remains, breaking up while browning. Turn off heat and with a slotted spoon, transfer beef to a clean bowl; set aside.
  2. Set same pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; sear until onions are translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in cumin, chili powder, salt, green chilies, fire-roasted tomatoes and reserved ground beef. Simmer 3 to 4 minutes, evaporating liquid from the tomatoes and chiles. When ingredients become dry and begin to brown stir in evaporated milk and bring to a low boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer.
  3. In a large mixing bowl toss grated cheese with the cornstarch to evenly coat.
  4. Turn the heat off of pan, stir in the cheese 1 handful at a time, melting completely before stirring in more.
  5. Stir in sour cream, garnish and serve.
