Step 1
Start by heating a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook it, breaking it up with a spoon, until it’s nicely browned and there’s no pink left. Once it’s cooked through, drain off any extra grease. Next, toss in the ranch beans, pinto beans, corn, tomatoes with green chiles, processed cheese food, half-and-half, heavy cream, taco seasoning, and ranch dressing mix. Give everything a good stir and bring the soup to a gentle boil. Then lower the heat to medium-low and let it simmer, stirring every now and then, until the cheese has melted and the flavors come together—this usually takes about 20 minutes. Once it’s ready, give it a final stir and it’s good to serve!
