Instructions:

Cook the Beef:

In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef, onion, and minced garlic over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
Add Sausage and Bacon:

Add the sliced smoked sausage and crumbled cooked bacon to the pot. Stir and cook for a few minutes until the sausage is heated through.

Add Potatoes:

Add the diced potatoes to the pot and stir to combine.

Stir in Beans and Veggies:

Stir in the kidney beans, black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes (with their juice).

Add Broth and Seasonings:

Add the beef broth, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine all the ingredients.

Simmer:

Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the stew simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the flavors are well combined.

Optional Cheese:

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, if desired.

Serve:

Serve hot and enjoy!
