INGREDIENTS

  • 1 lbs Ground Beef can use Ground Turkey as well
  • 1 lbs Kielbasa cut into 1/2" coins
  • 1 lbs Yukon Gold Potatoes cut into half
  • 2 15oz cans Diced Tomatoes
  • 2 medium sized Yellow Onions diced
  • 1 15oz can Dark Kidney Beans drained & rinsed
  • 1 15oz can Sweet Corn drained
  • 1½ tablespoon Chili Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt adjust as per taste
  • ½ teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
  • 2 teaspoon Hot Sauce to taste
  • 1½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese for serving

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Heat a pan over medium heat and cook the ground beef until fully browned. Break it up as it cooks. Drain excess grease. Next add the diced onions and Kielbasa and saute for 3-4 min. (if you don't have the time to cook the ground beef before adding it to the crockpot, you can skip it, however I highly recommend, to use extra lean ground beef)
  • Add the cooked ground beef, onions and Kielbasa to the slow cooker. Add kielbasa, potatoes, kidney beans, corn, and diced tomatoes. Sprinkle in chili powder, salt, black pepper, and hot sauce. Stir everything well so the seasoning is evenly mixed.
  • Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, until the potatoes are soft. Serve hot and top with shredded sharp cheddar cheese.

Notes

to make it more flavorful you can add just 1/2 teaspoon of Ground Cumin and 1/2 teaspoon of Paprika as well. However I dont use them as I like it a little on the comfort side and not too spicy. However you can absolutely use it to make it more authentic and flavorful.
