Cooking Steps
  1. Sauté the onions and garlic in a large pot over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until they become fragrant and translucent.
  2. Add the bell peppers, stirring them in for another 3-4 minutes until they're softened and vibrant.
  3. Stir in the ground beef, cooking until it’s browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.
  4. Combine the seasonings—chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper—mixing them in well to coat the meat and vegetables evenly.
  5. Pour in the diced tomatoes and beef broth, bringing everything to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 15 minutes.
  6. Mix in the corn and black beans, allowing them to heat through for another 5-7 minutes.
  7. Whisk together the cream cheese and milk in a separate bowl until smooth, then gently stir this mixture into the pot.
  8. Serve hot, garnishing with fresh cilantro or shredded cheese if desired.
