Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat until cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the diced onion, red and green bell peppers to the pot with the beef. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the diced potatoes, sweet corn, beans, diced tomatoes with their juice, and tomato sauce. Mix well.
- Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce heat to a simmer, add the chili powder, garlic salt, smoked paprika, cumin and Cajun seasoning. Stir to combine. Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Notes
PRO TIP: For the best flavor, let the soup simmer on low heat for an extra 10-15 minutes after the potatoes are tender. This allows the ingredients to blend together, intensifying the rich and smoky taste that’s reminiscent of classic cowboy stew.
