Savory Slow-Cooked Hamburger Stew Recipe for Hearty Meals

Ingredients

• 2 pounds of lean ground beef
• 1 can of whole kernel corn (15.25 ounces), drained
• 1 can of condensed cream of mushroom soup (10.5 ounces)
• 2 cans of water (10.5 ounces each)
• 1 can of diced tomatoes and green chiles (10 ounces), like RO*TEL®
• 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 5 medium carrots, chopped
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 teaspoon of chili powder
• 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper

Step 1

Begin by heating a generously sized skillet over medium-high heat. Proceed to cook and continually stir the ground beef in the skillet until it is nearly browned and broken into small crumbles, which typically takes around 5 minutes.

Step 2

Next, carefully transfer the beautifully browned beef to the base of a slow cooker. Mix in the sweet corn and creamy condensed soup. Then, gently pour in some water, along with the diced tomatoes featuring chiles, potatoes, carrots, onions, bell peppers, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir all the ingredients together until well combined.

Step 3

Now, cover the slow cooker and allow the flavors to meld as it simmers. Let it cook until the mixture is bubbling and the vegetables have reached the desired tenderness, which usually takes about 8 hours on the Low setting or 4 hours on High.

Step 4

Pro tip: For an extra burst of flavor, consider garnishing with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream before serving. Enjoy this hearty and satisfying dish with your favorite crusty bread or a side of fluffy rice.
