Why This Recipe Is So Easy To Love

This stew is comforting and full of rich flavors that develop slowly over time. It’s perfect for busy days since it requires minimal prep and cooks itself. Plus, the tender beef and soft potatoes make it satisfying and hearty.

Cooking Tips

- Brown the beef before adding it to the slow cooker for extra flavor.
- Cut potatoes into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Avoid lifting the lid too often to keep the heat steady and cook times accurate.

Step 1

Crumbl the ground beef into a skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle in some garlic salt and a pinch of cayenne pepper, then cook it, stirring and breaking it up into small pieces, until it’s fully browned—this usually takes about 5 to 7 minutes. Once it’s cooked, drain off as much grease as you can.

Step 2

Toss the water, beef broth, corn, potatoes, sliced jalapeños, onion, onion powder, and black pepper into your slow cooker. Add the cooked ground beef on top and give everything a gentle stir.

Step 3

Set the slow cooker to high and let it cook until the potatoes are tender, which should take around 3 and a half to 4 hours. Give it a stir every now and then while it cooks to mix the flavors. When it’s ready, give it one last stir and serve warm.

Simple Serving Suggestions

Serve the stew with a side of crusty bread or a simple green salad. Adding a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh parsley on top can brighten the flavors and add a nice touch.

Storage Advice

Let the stew cool completely before transferring it to airtight containers. It can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave until warmed through.
