Follow The Directions

01

Step
7 mins

In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble the ground beef. Season generously with garlic salt and cayenne pepper. Cook, breaking the beef into smaller pieces, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease thoroughly.

02

Step
1 mins

In a slow cooker, combine the water, beef broth, corn, potatoes, sliced jalapeno peppers, chopped onion, onion powder, and black pepper. Add the drained, browned ground beef to the slow cooker.

03

Step
1 mins

Cover and cook on High for 3 1/2 to 4 hours, or on Low for 6-8 hours, or until the potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally during cooking to ensure even heat distribution.

For a richer flavor, consider browning the ground beef with 1-2 cloves of minced fresh garlic. Add the garlic during the last minute of browning to prevent burning.
If you prefer a milder stew, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeno peppers before slicing. Alternatively, use fewer jalapenos or substitute with a milder pepper, such as poblano.
To thicken the stew, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the stew during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or parsley for added freshness.

    This recipe is a lifesaver on busy weeknights! I just throw everything in the slow cooker in the morning and come home to a delicious, ready-to-eat meal.

  • Kamren Cassin

    I followed this recipe and found it too salty, I would suggest reducing the amount of beef broth added if you are sensitive to sodium.

  • Francisco Barrows

    My husband isn't a fan of spicy food, so I only used one jalapeño and removed the seeds. It was still delicious!
