Ingredients
1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
3–4 russet or red potatoes, diced
2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (corn, peas, carrots, green beans)
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
1 can (15 oz) pinto beans or kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (15 oz) corn, drained (if not using frozen)
4 cups beef broth
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
1 can (4 oz) green chiles (optional)
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp cumin
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat until no longer pink, then drain excess grease.
Add chopped onion and garlic to the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
Transfer the beef mixture to the slow cooker.
Add potatoes, mixed vegetables, diced tomatoes, beans, corn, tomato sauce, beef broth, green chiles if using, and seasonings.
Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Cover and cook on Low for 6–8 hours or High for 3–4 hours, until potatoes are tender.
Taste and adjust seasonings before serving.
Serve hot with cornbread, biscuits, or warm tortillas.
Notes
Use smoked sausage or kielbasa for a smoky variation.
Rotel tomatoes add heat and extra flavor.
Add black beans for more protein.
Stir in cheese or cream at the end for a creamy version.
Reduce broth slightly to turn it into Cowboy Stew.
