• 2 (10 ounce) cans beef broth

Instructions

1. In a large pot or wok, brown ground beef.

2. Drain and return meat to pot.

3. Add onions, garlic and spices to drained beef and sauté until onions are translucent.

4. Add cream cheese, stirring until meat is coated.

5. Add Rotel, broth, cream, Splenda packet and simmer gently for 5-10 minutes or until flavors combine to your liking. (I like to let mine simmer a bit longer, which really allows the flavors to meld.).
