Brown the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until it's no longer pink. Drain excess grease and transfer to your crockpot.
Add the Goodies: Toss in the diced tomatoes, black beans, kidney beans, onion, and garlic.
Spice it Up: Sprinkle in the taco seasoning, chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika. Stir to combine.
Pour in the Broth: Add the beef broth and mix until everything is well coated.
Cook Low and Slow: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
Finish with Queso: About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the queso dip or cheese.
Season to Perfection: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
