Notes
This recipe can be made on a stovetop as well in as little as 15 minutes. Do everything the same, just on the stovetop in a pot.
Garnish as you like. I enjoy mine with shredded cheese and sour cream. My family likes to put Frito chips in the bowl then cover with the soup. I use my chips as scoops.
You can replace the ground beef with shredded chicken if you prefer.
The beans in the recipe are really up to you. I like using black beans but you can honestly use your favorite beans: pinto bean, Great northern beans, and more. You could also use more than one type.
If you don't have fire roasted tomatoes, diced work just as well. I just prefer the sweet and slightly smoky flavor of the fire roasted tomatoes.

If you don't have Rotel or something similar on hand you could use salsa as a replacement.
