A hearty and flavorful stew inspired by classic taco soup, perfect for a cozy meal.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and cook the ground beef until browned.
Break the meat into small pieces as it cooks for even browning.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan and sauté until softened.
Cook until the onions are translucent for the best flavor.
Transfer the beef mixture to a crock pot and add the kidney beans, corn, diced tomatoes, taco seasoning, and water.
Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
Set the crock pot to high and let the stew simmer for 4 hours.
Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
Serve the stew hot, topped with shredded cheese and accompanied by tortilla chips.
Add a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for extra flavor.
