Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 2 cups chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cans (15 ounces each) ranch beans
- 12 ounces frozen mixed vegetables (or 1 –15 ounce can, drained)
- 2 cans (15.25 ounces each) whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained
- 1 can (10 ounces) Ro-tel
- 4 russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 cups beef broth
Instructions
- In a large pot or dutch oven, over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef. Drain if desired.
- Add the chopped onion, garlic, and spices. Stir to combine and cook for 5 minutes to start to make the onion tender.
- Add the ranch beans, corn, mixed vegetables, and diced tomatoes. Stir to mix.
- Add the diced potatoes, Ro-tel, and beef broth. Stir to mix.
- Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer.
- Simmer for 20 minutes or until potatoes are cooked to desired tenderness.
- Remove from heat and serve. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use ground chuck for this recipe. If opting for a leaner meat, you might need to add 1-2 tablespoons oil when cooking the beef and onions.
- Dice the potatoes in cubes no larger than 1 inch square to ensure they cook evenly.
- Add the spices after cooking the meat and before adding the liquid to toast them slightly and distribute them evenly in the soup.
- If you don’t have Ro-tel, you can add a can of diced green chiles to the soup.
- Prefer the frozen variety of mixed veggies as it doesn’t contain potato. The canned version has potatoes which won’t be the same as the fresh ones you’re adding.
- Prep everything ahead of time and use a slow cooker for an easy meal.
- Top with a dash of hot sauce and some shredded cheese for added flavor.
