Ingredients
8 ounces ground beef
8 ounces bulk Italian sausage
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles (such as RO*TEL®)
8 ounces pasteurized cheese product (such as Velveeta®), cubed
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened and cubed
8 ounces shredded Pepper Jack or Monterey Jack cheese
3/4 cup no-salt-added canned black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup frozen corn
3/4 cup diced avocado
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
- Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (375–400°F) or place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet on a grill grate over a campfire.
- Add ground beef, Italian sausage, red onion, bell pepper, and jalapeño to the skillet. Cook, stirring and breaking up meat, until browned, about 8 minutes. Drain excess grease.
- Stir in diced tomatoes and green chiles, Velveeta, cream cheese, shredded cheese, black beans, and corn.
- Cover skillet with foil and cook for 8 minutes.
- Uncover and stir. Continue cooking uncovered for about 2 more minutes, or until cheese is fully melted and mixture is bubbly.
- Top with avocado, sour cream, and cilantro. Serve immediately with tortilla chips.
Notes
- To reduce spiciness, omit or reduce the amount of jalapeño.
- This dish does not reheat well—best enjoyed fresh.
- Use a sturdy cast-iron skillet for even heating and great campfire flavor.
- Great for camping, tailgating, or backyard cookouts.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the meats and double the beans and veggies.
