Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb ground beef
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (15 oz) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 oz) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (10 oz) can Ro-Tel diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
  • 1 (10.75 oz) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 1 cup diced potatoes (if using, add 1 extra hour of cook time)

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Transfer the browned beef to the basin of your slow cooker.
  3. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the slow cooker.
  4. Add the kidney beans, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, Ro-Tel, cream of mushroom soup, and beef broth to the slow cooker.
  5. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. If you are using potatoes, add them now.
  6. Cover the slow cooker. Cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours.
  7. Stir well before serving. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • This soup pairs well with cornbread or tortilla chips.
  • If you are looking for simple weeknight meals that save time, this dump-and-go method is superior to many meal planning services.
