Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef, cooked and drained
  • 1 cup yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 cup green bell pepper, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and diced
  • 15 oz canned corn, drained
  • 15 oz black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 15 oz petite diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 3 1/2 cups chicken or beef broth
  • 8 oz cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3–4 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • Chopped green onions, for garnish

Instructions

1. In a 5–6 quart slow cooker, combine cooked ground beef, onion, bell pepper, garlic, jalapeño, corn, black beans, tomatoes, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.

2. Pour in chicken or beef broth and stir gently to mix.

3. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours.

4. After cooking, stir in shredded cheddar cheese.

5. In a small bowl, whisk together heavy cream and flour until smooth.

6. Pour the cream mixture into the slow cooker and stir to combine.

7. Cover and cook for an additional 30 minutes on high to allow the soup to thicken.

8. Serve warm, garnished with chopped green onions. Pair with tortilla chips for extra crunch.

Notes

For a spicier version, leave the seeds in the jalapeño or add more red pepper flakes.

Swap ground beef with ground turkey or chicken if preferred.

Stir the soup occasionally during the final 30 minutes to ensure even thickening.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
