Ingredients

Scale

2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium potato, diced
1 cup frozen or canned corn
1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed

3 cups beef broth
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp chili powder
½ tsp cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.
Add onion and garlic to the pot and sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Stir in diced potato, corn, kidney beans, diced tomatoes, beef broth, paprika, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20–25 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
Stir in heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese. Simmer for another 5 minutes until creamy and well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve warm with optional garnish.
