Preparation

• In a large pot, cook the ground beef over medium heat until it’s browned. Drain any excess grease.
• Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
• Add the beef broth, diced tomatoes (including their juice), drained corn, black beans, diced potatoes, smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
• Simmer for about 20-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.
• Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy cream or half-and-half and shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
• Serve topped with sliced green onions, extra cheese, and crushed tortilla chips.
