Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 2 cups onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 30 ounces ranch beans
- 12 ounces mixed vegetables frozen or (1) 15 ounce can, drained
- 30.5 ounces whole kernel corn drained
- 28 ounces diced tomatoes drained
- 10 ounces Rotel
- 4 russet potatoes peeled, diced
- 4 cups beef broth
Instructions
- In a large pot pot or dutch oven (I use a 9½ quart pot) over medium high heat, brown the ground beef. Drain if you prefer.
- 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
- I like to use ground chuck but if you use a lean meat, add 1-2 tablespoons olive oil when cooking the beef and onions.
- Dice the potatoes in 1 inch square cubes so they cook in time. If they are larger you will need to increase the cooking time. Be sure they are the same size.
- Add the spices after cooking the meat and before adding the liquid to bring our their flavor. Plus they won't stay in small clumps in the broth.
- Substitute the Rotel for diced tomatoes and chopped green chilies.
- I like to use the frozen variety of mixed veggies because it doesn’t contain potato. The canned version has potatoes and they won’t be the same as the fresh ones you are adding.
- Try adding your ingredients to a slow cooker for an even easier meal.
- I like to add hot sauce and some grated parmesan or mozzarella cheese to mine.
