Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 6 slices Bacon
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 2 14.5-ounce cans Canned diced tomatoes
- 1 15-ounce can Canned kidney beans
- 1 15-ounce can Canned black beans
- 1 15-ounce can Canned navy beans
- 4 cups Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and transfer the browned beef to the crock pot.
In the same skillet, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove them from the skillet, crumble them into small pieces, and set aside. Reserve about 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease.
In the reserved bacon grease, sauté the diced onion until it becomes translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently. Transfer the onion and garlic mixture to the crock pot.
To the crock pot, add the diced tomatoes (with their juices), kidney beans, black beans, and navy beans (drained and rinsed).
Stir in the beef broth, tomato paste, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
Thirty minutes before serving, stir in the crumbled bacon to allow its smoky flavor to meld into the soup.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal.
