Step 1
Crumbl the ground beef into a skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle in some garlic salt and a pinch of cayenne pepper, then cook it, stirring and breaking it up into small pieces, until it’s fully browned—this usually takes about 5 to 7 minutes. Once it’s cooked, drain off as much grease as you can.
Step 2
Toss the water, beef broth, corn, potatoes, sliced jalapeños, onion, onion powder, and black pepper into your slow cooker. Add the cooked ground beef on top and give everything a gentle stir.
Step 3
Set the slow cooker to high and let it cook until the potatoes are tender, which should take around 3 and a half to 4 hours. Give it a stir every now and then while it cooks to mix the flavors. When it’s ready, give it one last stir and serve warm.
Simple Serving Suggestions
Serve the stew with a side of crusty bread or a simple green salad. Adding a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh parsley on top can brighten the flavors and add a nice touch.
Storage Advice
Let the stew cool completely before transferring it to airtight containers. It can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave until warmed through.
