Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Serve with sour cream, green onions, cheddar, tortilla chips
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add the onions, peppers and garlic with a big pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, until softened.
  3. Add in the ground beef and bread it apart. Cook until browned, about 6 to 8 minutes, breaking it into small crumbles.
  4. Stir in the garlic powder, cumin, paprika and chili powder. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often.
  5. Add in the tomatoes, beans, corn, chiles and stock. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce it to a simmer and cover. Simmer, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes.
  6. Remove the cover and taste. Add more seasoning as needed - salt, pepper, or even something spicy.
  7. Serve topped with your favorite toppings. This freezes great and also goes well in the fridge for a few days! Reheats so well.
