Description

A slow-cooked medley of savory beef, smoky paprika, tender potatoes, and beans bathes in a robust tomato broth. Each spoonful steams invitingly, delivering warmth and comfort in every hearty bite.


Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 can (14.5 ounce) diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (8 ounce) tomato sauce
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 cups diced potatoes
  • 1 can (15 ounce) pinto beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 ounce) corn drained
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium high heat brown the ground beef, breaking it into crumbles and cook until no longer pink then drain excess fat.
  2. Transfer the beef to the crockpot and add chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic.
  3. Pour in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, diced potatoes, beans, and corn then stir to combine.
  4. Stir in chili powder, cumin, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until potatoes are tender.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.

Notes

  • Substitute ground turkey for beef for a lighter version.
  • Add extra broth if you prefer a thinner soup consistency.
  • Top with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, or chopped cilantro.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
