Ingredients
- 3/4 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium sweet red pepper, finely chopped
- 1 envelope taco seasoning
- 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes and green chiles, undrained
- 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chiles
- 8 ounces pepper jack cheese, cubed
- 4 ounces process cheese (Velveeta), cubed
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened, cubed
- 1 package (12 ounces) tortilla chip scoops
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
- Sour cream and pickled jalapeno slices
Directions
- In a large skillet, cook the beef, onion and red pepper over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the taco seasoning, diced tomatoes and chopped green chiles. Cook and stir until thickened, 5-7 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in the pepper jack, process cheese and cream cheese until melted.
- Place 4 dozen scoops on an ungreased baking sheet. Add a rounded teaspoon of beef mixture to each. Sprinkle with Mexican cheese blend.
- Bake at 375° until heated through, about 5 minutes. Garnish each with sour cream and a jalapeno pepper slice. Repeat with remaining tortilla chip scoops.
