### 🥣 Instructions
**1. Brown the Beef**
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with diced onion and garlic until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat.
**2. Add Everything to the Crockpot**
Transfer the beef mixture to your crockpot. Add the beans, corn, tomatoes, beef broth, and all seasonings. Stir to combine.
**3. Slow Cook**
Cover and cook on **low for 6–8 hours** or on **high for 3–4 hours**. The flavors will deepen, and the soup will thicken slightly.
**4. Serve It Up**
Ladle the hot soup into bowls and top with shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, chopped green onions, or a handful of tortilla chips for crunch.
