Directions
-
In a large pot or pressure cooker, brown the hamburger meat over medium-high heat, breaking it into small crumbles until no pink remains.
-
Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Stir in the diced tomatoes with their juice and the sliced potatoes.
-
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
In a small bowl, mix the flour and chili powder with a few tablespoons of water to create a smooth paste, ensuring no lumps remain.
-
Stir the flour-chili paste into the pot, mixing thoroughly to combine with the meat and vegetables.
-
Cover the pot securely. If using a pressure cooker, bring to high pressure and cook for 10 minutes, then release steam carefully. If using a stovetop, simmer covered for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
-
Uncover and stir the chowder, allowing it to thicken slightly for 1-2 minutes before serving.
