  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
  • 1/2 lb ground beef or sausage, cooked and drained (optional)

  2. Once the cheese is melted, introduce the can of diced tomatoes with green chilies. Stir well to combine.
  3. Add in the cooked ground beef or sausage if you’re using it, followed by the chopped onion and diced bell pepper. Mix thoroughly.
