Oven Soup


1-1/2 lbs. hamburger
1 onion, sliced thinly
2 or 3 cloves of garlic
8 oz. block cream cheese
1 package Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix
1 can Ro-Tel or Hatch tomatoes and green chiles
1 can green beans


Brown hamburger with onion and garlic.  Drain, if necessary, and put it deep casserole dish or pyrex bowls.  Cut cream cheese into chunks and stir into hot hamburger until melted.  Add dressing mix, tomatoes and green beans (I don’t drain mine.)  Mix all together.  Cover bowl with foil and place in 350 degree oven for at least 30 minutes.  This is a very forgiving recipe so it can sit in the oven for 45 minutes to an hour with no problem.  Serve, topped with cheddar cheese and sour cream, if desired.

If you are Dirty Keto, or not Keto at all, you could dd some potato to this.  I would cook it in with the hamburger, or boil it separately.
