4 garlic cloves, minced
-
4 cups beef broth

1 can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
-
1 14 oz can diced tomatoes, drained

-
2 teaspoons chili powder
-
1 teaspoon cumin
-
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- (Optional) Line your crockpot with a plastic liner for easy cleanup.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown ground beef, breaking it into small pieces. Drain any excess grease and transfer the meat to the crockpot.
- Add chopped onion, minced garlic, beef broth, pinto beans, tomatoes, potatoes, green chiles, frozen mixed vegetables, frozen corn, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the crockpot.
- Cover and cook on low for 2-3 hours or on high for 1-2 hours. Longer cooking enhances flavor. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Serve the hearty Cowboy Soup with shredded cheese, hot sauce, sour cream, and chopped green onions.
Notes
- Fresh or frozen veggies can be substituted, but add a can or two of beef stock if using fresh. No additional liquid needed for canned veggies, as they provide both flavor and liquid.
