• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and crumbled. Drain excess fat and transfer the cooked beef to the crock pot.

Step 2

Slice the smoked sausage into bite-sized rounds and add them to the crock pot.

Step 3

Peel and cube the potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Add the potatoes to the crock pot.

Step 4

Drain and rinse the canned pinto beans and kidney beans, then add them to the crock pot along with the drained corn.

Step 5

Add the entire can of diced tomatoes with green chilies (including the liquid) to the crock pot.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth and tomato paste until smooth. Pour the mixture into the crock pot.

Step 7

Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the crock pot. Stir everything gently to combine.

Step 8

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 6 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and flavors are well combined.

Step 9

Before serving, taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve hot with crusty bread or over rice, if desired.
