Before You Cook

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F
  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Drain beans in a colander/strainer.

    Trim and thinly slice green onions, keeping white and green portions separate.

    Stem poblano pepper, seed, and cut into 1/2" dice. Poblano peppers can vary in spice level; most are mild, but a few can be quite hot. Wash hands and cutting board after prepping.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beef Mixture

    Place a medium pot over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Add ground beef, chile and cumin rub, white portions of green onions, poblanos (use less if spice-averse), and garlic salt to hot pot. Break up meat until no pink remains, vegetables are tender, and beef reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the Tomatoes

    Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir tomatoes, beans, and 1 1/2 cups water into hot pot until combined. Bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, cover and stir occasionally until slightly thickened, 15-20 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

  4. 4

    Add the Cheese

    Stir in hot sauce (to taste), cream cheese, and half the shredded cheese (reserve remaining for garnish) until melted and combined.

  5. 5

    Finish the Dish

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, garnishing with green portions of green onions and remaining shredded cheese. Bon appétit!
