Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz lean ground beef
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 1 cup diced onion
- 4 cups beef or chicken broth
- 1 (10 oz) can Rotel tomatoes (I used mild)
- 1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained

Instructions
- Instant Pot Instructions
- Turn Instant Pot to saute setting. When display says HOT add in the beef and break it up. Add in the onion. Brown for about 5 minutes. If there is excess grease, drain it off. Stir in the pinch of salt.
- Pour in the broth and scrape bottom of pot so that nothing is sticking.
- Dump in the Rotel, black beans, pinto beans, corn, ranch mix, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, pepper and cream cheese. Don’t stir.
- Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the soup button to 5 minutes (or low pressure for 5 minutes). When time is up let pot sit for 5 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid.
- Stir well so that the cream cheese is incorporated. Add salt to taste, as needed. (Mine just needed a pinch).
- Ladle into bowls and serve.
- Slow Cooker Instructions
- Heat a pan over medium high heat. Add in the beef and break it up. Add in the onion. Brown for about 5 minutes. If there is excess grease, drain it off. Stir in the pinch of salt. Transfer to the slow cooker
- Stir in the broth, Rotel, black beans, pinto beans, corn, ranch mix, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, pepper and cream cheese (cream cheese can just be in a block it doesn’t need to be stirred in).
- Cover and cook on low for 4 hours.
- Stir well so that the cream cheese is incorporated. Add salt to taste, as needed. (Mine just needed a pinch).
