Ingredients
- 1. A pound of ground beef that's lean
- 2. A dash of garlic salt, to customize the flavor
- 3. A sprinkle of cayenne pepper for a kick (optional)
- 4. Two and a half cups of water for the base
- 5. A can of low-sodium beef broth, weighing 14.25 ounces
- 6. A can of yellow sweet corn, weighing 15.25 ounces
- 7. Ten small red potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 8. Six fresh jalapeno peppers, sliced into rings
- 9. A chopped small white onion for added flavor
- 10. A bit of onion powder, to your liking
- 11. Ground black pepper, as desired
Step 1
Start by breaking apart the ground beef in a skillet set over medium heat, infusing it with flavors of garlic salt and a hint of cayenne pepper. Keep stirring and cooking until the beef turns a delightful brown hue, ensuring to crumble it into smaller bits throughout the process, which should take around 5 to 7 minutes. Once done, make sure to drain off any excess grease from the beef.
Step 2
Next, in a slow cooker, mix together water, beef broth, sweet corn, diced potatoes, thinly sliced jalapeno peppers for a kick, chopped onion, a sprinkle of onion powder, and a dash of black pepper. Add in the drained ground beef to the mix. Allow this flavorful concoction to cook on a High setting until the potatoes are tender, stirring from time to time to ensure all the ingredients meld together perfectly. This slow cooking process usually takes around 3 1/2 to 4 hours but may vary based on your preference for potato tenderness.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your potatoes in a cool, dark place to prevent sprouting and maintain their freshness.
- 2. Store your beef in the coldest part of the refrigerator to keep it fresh and safe to eat.
- 3. To save time, prepare your stew ingredients in advance and store them in separate containers in the fridge until you're ready to cook.
