Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
12 ounces smoked beef sausage sliced into coins
1 medium yellow onion diced
3 teaspoons garlic minced
1 pound baby Yukon gold potatoes quartered
4 ounce can diced green chiles
1 medium red bell pepper seeded and diced
15 ounce can black beans drained and rinsed
15 ounce can pinto beans
15 ounce can fire roasted corn drained
15 ounce can fire roasted diced tomatoes
4 cups low sodium beef broth
¼ cup barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain excess grease, then transfer the beef to the slow cooker.
Add smoked sausage, onion, garlic, potatoes, green chiles, bell pepper, beans, corn, tomatoes, beef broth, BBQ sauce, and seasonings to the crockpot. Stir until well combined.
Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or low for 6-7 hours. Adjust seasonings as needed.
Serve while hot and top with our favorite garnishes.

Notes

Brown the ground beef before adding it to the slow cooker for better flavor and texture.
Cut the potatoes into evenly sized pieces so they cook through at the same rate.
Stir the ingredients thoroughly before cooking to distribute the seasonings evenly.
Taste and adjust the salt at the end since the beans and broth can vary in sodium levels.
