# Detailed Cooking Steps:

01 - Dish up the soup into bowls. Add some green onions or jalapeno slices if you like. Grab tortilla chips to go with it.
02 - Mix in shredded cheddar until it melts fully. Put the lid back on and cook for 30 more minutes to get it thicker.
03 - About five minutes before the end, mix heavy cream and flour together in a small bowl until it's nice and smooth. Stir it into the slow cooker pot.
04 - Get a non-stick pan that's at least 25 cm. Turn the heat medium-high. Toss in ground beef and cook it till it’s not pink at all. Drain the fat and move it into your slow cooker (5-6 quart).
05 - Put in the onion, bell pepper, garlic, jalapenos, frozen corn, rinsed black beans, Rotel tomatoes, chili powder, cayenne, salt, black pepper, and broth. Stir everything well.
06 - Cover and then cook on HIGH for about 4 hours. Or do LOW heat for 6 to 8 hours.

# Helpful Hints:

01 - If you want it hotter, add more jalapenos or cayenne. You can swap the beef for turkey or chicken. Top it with sour cream or avocado for a creamy touch.
