Black Bean Stew Recipe

This Black Bean Stew will warm you up on a cold Winter night. It will also make you happy because it’s ready in 30 minutes and it’s a one pot meal, which means less dishes, which means immediate happiness.

Seasoned ground beef is combined with cans of black beans, diced tomatoes and corn in beef broth and then deliciously simmered. Then you have to serve it with some shredded cheese and crunchy fritos (or tortilla chips!) on top!

How to Easily Make Black Bean Soup

Make the Ground Beef. In a large pot (this is a one pot meal, so we’ll make everything in this pot), brown the ground beef. After browned, drain any fat remaining in the pot. Add a packet of taco seasoning and stir to coat the ground beef.

Add the cans. Add cans of black beans, diced tomatoes and corn into the pot, along with beef broth.

Tip: Want it to be extra special? Use roasted corn. Here’s how to cook corn in the oven.

Simmer. Bring to a boil and then reduce to low/medium heat and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes.

Serve in bowls, with shredded cheese and fritos on top. If you don’t have fritos you can also add crushed up tortilla chips. If you want it hearty, serve this over white rice (that’s how my family loves it). You can also serve with moist buttermilk cornbread for dipping!

I hope you enjoy this 30 minute black bean stew recipe!

Recipe Substitution Questions

  • Can I use pinto beans instead of black beans? Yes.
  • Can I use dry black beans instead of canned black beans? You can, but you first need to cook them. Here’s how to Make Black Beans in the Instant Pot.
  • Can I use frozen corn instead of canned corn? Yes.
  • Can I use fresh tomatoes or stewed tomatoes instead of diced tomatoes? Yes you can. Bonus: Make my homemade stewed tomatoes!
  • Can I use ground turkey instead of ground beef? Yes, you can.
  • Can I use water instead of beef broth? Yes.
  • Can I turn this into a Vegetarian Black Bean Stew? Sure. Use veggie crumbles for the meat and use vegetable broth instead of beef broth.
