PREPARATION TIME
PREP TIME 10 minutes
COOK TIME 8 hours
TOTAL TIME 8 hours 10 minutes
INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion diced
1 pound lean ground beef (93/7)
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
black pepper to taste
1 large russet potato peeled and cubed
1 12 ounce bag frozen mixed vegetables
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 15.5 ounce cans chili beans
1 14.5 ounce can petite diced tomatoes with green chiles (rotel)
1 14.5 ounce can petite diced tomatoes drained
4 cups beef broth
Prepare the ingredients. Dice the onion. Peel and cube the potato into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic
Warm the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until it starts to soften. Add the ground beef. Use a wooden spatula to break the ground beef into small pieces. Cook the ground beef for 4-5 minutes, until browned. Drain the fat if needed, and then stir in ½ teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon of chili powder and 1 teaspoon cumin.
Add the ground beef, minced garlic, cubed potatoes and frozen vegetables to the crock pot. Pour two cans of chili beans (undrained) on top, along with one can of rotel (undrained) and one can of plain diced tomatoes (drained).
Pour the beef broth into the crock pot and give the soup a stir. Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
The soup is ready when it is heated through, and the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork. When the soup is ready, taste it and season with additional salt and pepper, to taste. If you want your soup spicier, you can add additional chili powder at this point as well.
Garnish the soup with your favorite toppings – sour cream, jalapeno peppers, cheddar cheese and tortilla strips are our favorites – and enjoy!
