Creamy Beef and Cheese Chili

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large saucepan, cook the ground beef, onions, and garlic over medium heat until the beef is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Crumble the beef as it cooks, then drain any excess fat.

2. 2

   Stir in the diced tomatoes, green chiles, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. 3

   Add the cubed Velveeta cheese and stir until the cheese is completely melted and the chili is creamy. Serve immediately, and top with optional sour cream, sliced jalapenos, chopped tomatoes, and minced fresh cilantro if desired.
