Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 4 russet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 can (15 oz) canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 can (14.5 oz) canned diced tomatoes with juice
• 3 cups beef broth
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the pot. Cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Step 4

Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the beef with the seasonings.

Step 5

Add the diced potatoes, kidney beans, diced tomatoes (with juice), and beef broth to the pot. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot with a lid and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender.

Step 7

Stir in the frozen corn and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add more salt, black pepper, or spices to taste.

Step 9

Serve the Cowboy Hotpot hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy with crusty bread or a side of cornbread for a complete meal.
