Instructions

In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef, onion and minced garlic over medium heat until browned and no longer pink inside. Drain off any excess fat.
Stir in the sliced smoked sausage and crumbled cooked bacon. Stir and cook for two to three minutes until the sausage is heated through.
Add the diced potatoes and stir to combine.
Add the beef broth, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt and black pepper. Stir to combine all of the ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and allow the stew to simmer for 20 to 25 minutes. The potatoes should be fork-tender and the flavors well-combined.
If using, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and enjoy!
