Ingredients
  

For the Stew
  • 2 lbs (900 g / 31.7 oz) round red or russet potatoes, cut into 1-inch / 2.5 cm pieces
  • 2 15-oz / 425 g (15 oz) cans vegetarian baked beans, undrained
  • 1 10-oz / 280 g (9.9 oz) package frozen whole kernel corn
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable broth
  • 1 tbsp (15 g / 0.53 oz) chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp (1.5 g / 0.05 oz) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • For Topping
  • 1/2 cup (50 g / 1.76 oz) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup (120 g / 4.2 oz) sour cream
  • Resist the urge to peek! Lifting the lid on your slow cooker can add 20-30 minutes to the cooking time each time you do it.
  • This stew is fantastic for meal prep and tastes even better the next day. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Get creative with toppings! Try adding sliced green onions, fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, or some crushed tortilla chips for extra crunch.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a finely diced jalapeño along with the other spices at the beginning.

Method
 

  1. In the basin of a 4- to 5-quart slow cooker, combine the potato pieces, undrained vegetarian baked beans, frozen corn, vegetable broth, chili powder, and unsweetened cocoa powder.
  2. Stir everything together to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
  3. Secure the lid and cook on the LOW setting for 8 to 9 hours or on the HIGH setting for 4 to 4. 5 hours, until the potatoes are perfectly tender.
  4. Ladle the hot stew into bowls.
  5. Top each serving generously with shredded cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream before serving.
