Instructions

Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into crumbles. Drain excess fat and transfer beef to the slow cooker.
Layer potatoes over the beef, then add onions, celery, kidney beans, and corn. Pour diced tomatoes with juices over the top without stirring.
Season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours. When vegetables are tender, gently stir to combine and adjust seasoning.

Notes

Keep ingredients layered instead of stirring, use lean beef to avoid grease, avoid lifting the lid, and add broth only if needed for a soupier consistency.
