A smooth, richly satisfying combination of diced onions, ground beef, diced tomatoes, green chiles, and zesty HVR Seasoning creates a slam dunk appetizer that steals the show of any spread.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A great starting point too! I made this recipe as a sort of 'starting point' for soup for a cold Midwestern fall day. I made it as directed and added 1.5 cups of broth and served it over corn chips (of course!) at the bottom of the soup bowl.
