Recipe Tips:

If you don’t mind eating carbs and you want additional protein, you can add a can of kidney beans, and it goes well with cornbread.

To change things up a bit, you can substitute ground turkey, ground sausage or ground chicken, instead of the ground beef.

Storage:

Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days and can also be frozen, for future meals.

How Spicy Is This Soup?

If you use “Hot” Rotel tomatoes and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, it has a moderate amount of heat. For more heat, double the amount of cayenne pepper or add 1/4 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes.
