Preparation

Step 1

In a large pot, brown and crumble ground beef along with diced onions over medium heat.
While the meat is browning, peel and cube the potatoes.
And drain and rinse the northern beans.
I don't drain and rinse my pinto beans.
I like to get the kind that is seasoned with pork.
So I want to keep that yummy pork flavor and not rinse it away.
Make sure to drain the corn too.
When the ground beef is cooked, drain excess grease.
Put ground beef back into large pot and start adding all the other ingredients.
Add in can of crushed tomatoes.
Next, add in can of pinto beans along with drained northern beans and corn.
Now add 5 cups of beef broth.
Add in diced potatoes and bottle of barbecue sauce.
Give it all a good stir.
It looks and smells so good at this point.
Now, all you really need to do is get it all warmed up and make sure the potatoes are cooked.
This is why you need a large pot because it will be full.
Cover pot and simmer on medium heat for about 30 minutes (until your potatoes are fork tender). Or, you can put all of it in the crock pot to finish cooking and keep warm until you are ready to eat (about 4 hours on the low setting).
Serve with crackers.
Cook's Note: If you want to use chicken or other white meat with this, just substitute the beef broth with chicken broth.
