Instructions

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef with the onion, garlic powder, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and ground mustard until beef is no longer pink. Drain any grease if necessary.
  • Add the cubed potatoes, diced tomatoes with green chilies, chicken broth, and milk to the pot.

Notes

*You could use beef broth. When taste testing we preferred chicken broth, but also enjoyed beef broth enough for it to be a suitable substitution.
