cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor without dairy.

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a large baking dish, add 1 pound of cooked ground beef.

Add 1 can of Rotel (not drained) next to the ground beef.

Add 8 oz of frozen corn next to the ground beef.

Place 1 block of cream cheese in the center of the dish.

Add 8 oz of sour cream on both sides of the cream cheese.

Sprinkle 1 packet of taco seasoning over the entire dish.

Pour in 6 cups of low sodium chicken broth slowly, ensuring not to overfill the pan.

Cover the dish with foil to retain moisture.

Bake in the oven for about 40 minutes.

After baking, mix the ingredients together to combine flavors.

Ladle the soup into bowls and top with cheddar cheese.
