Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 links andouille sausage
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 1 large red bell pepper, diced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 15 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup corn kernels (frozen or canned, drained)
• 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 4 slices lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the bottom.

Step 2

Slice the andouille sausage into rounds and cook them in the pot until they are browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the sausage and set aside.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the same pot and cook until fully browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Once browned, remove the beef and drain any excess fat if necessary.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the diced onion and red bell pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and starting to caramelize.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Return the browned ground beef and sausage to the pot. Add the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, black beans, and corn. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Sprinkle in the chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and allow the stew to simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. For a spicier kick, add an extra pinch of chili powder or cayenne.

Step 10

Once the stew has thickened and flavors have melded, remove from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro.

Step 11

Ladle the 'Seething Monster' into bowls and serve with lime wedges on the side for a zesty finish.
