1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
4 ounces Velveeta, chunked
1 cup shredded Mexi-blend cheese or cheddar
1 pkg refrigerated (whopped) biscuits  or homemade*


Brown ground beef, drain if needed.
Add tomato soup, veggies, water, Worcestershire sauce, and Velveeta.
Pour into 9x13 or similar size baking dish. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees.
Meanwhile, quarter biscuits. Remove dish from oven and place biscuits on top.
Add the shredded cheese and bake for 10-15 more minutes (depending on biscuit instructions.)
Before diving in...


*You can also used your own biscuits. Heat the casserole without the biscuits and just ladle over the top of your biscuit in each bowl.

Mix half of the spices and oil together and add chicken to coat. Set aside for grilling.

Dice green pepper and onion and add along with the other 1/2 of the oil and seasonings to a large pot.

Cook until soft, 10-15 minutes.

Microwave corn for 5-6 minutes or boil. Add to grill with chicken to get char marks. (Means more flavor!)
Grill chicken.
Chop chicken into chunks and remove corn kernels from cob.
Rinse beans in colander. If you don't the brown beans will make your soup dirty looking.
Add everything to the pot...chicken, corn, tomatoes, beans, etc. Simmer for 25 minutes
**For tortilla strips
Cut tortillas into strips and fry in small amount of canola oil until crispy. Drain.
Dish it up anyway you like it with the cheese, tortilla chips, sour cream, and/or avocado!
