Step 1
Start by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, until it’s mostly browned and crumbly—this usually takes about 5 minutes. Once the beef is ready, transfer it to the bottom of your slow cooker. Next, add the corn, condensed soup, and water, then toss in the diced tomatoes with chiles, potatoes, carrots, onion, and bell pepper. Sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper, and give everything a good stir to mix it all together. Cover the slow cooker and let it cook until the stew is bubbling and the veggies are tender—this will take about 8 hours on low or 4 hours if you’re short on time and use high heat. When it’s done, give it a final stir and it’s ready to serve.
