Instructions
1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat and set aside.
2. Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker.
3. Add the diced potatoes to the bottom of the slow cooker, spreading them evenly.
4. Layer the cooked ground beef over the potatoes.
5. Add the chopped onion, garlic, beans, corn, and diced tomatoes.
6. Pour in the beef broth and season with paprika, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
7. Gently stir to combine all ingredients without breaking up the potatoes too much.
8. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
9. About 20–30 minutes before serving, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Cover again until the cheese is fully melted.
10. Garnish with parsley or green onions if desired, and serve hot.
