  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced

  • 1 15 oz can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 15 oz can diced tomatoes (with juice)

  6. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
  7. Sprinkle extra cheese on top during the last 15 minutes of cooking, allowing it to melt.
  8. Serve warm with toppings like sour cream, green onions, or crispy bacon bits.
