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. 1. Keep your potatoes in a cool, dark place to prevent sprouting and maintain their freshness.
  2. 2. Store your beef in the coldest part of the refrigerator to keep it fresh and safe to eat.
  3. 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.
