  3. Add the undrained cans of tomatoes and green chilies to the skillet. Stir to combine.
  4. Reduce heat to low. Add the cubed cream cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  5. Stir constantly until the cream cheese is fully melted and blended into a smooth, creamy sauce.

  7. Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm with chips or veggies.

Notes

For a slow cooker version, brown the meat first, then add all ingredients to slow cooker on Low for 2 hours.
