Ingredients
- 1 cup Bacon raw and diced
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- ½ cup onion diced
- ½ cup carrot diced
- ½ cup celery diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup all purpose flour
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups half-and-half
- 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon dried mustard powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups potatoes diced
- 2 cups cheddar cheese freshly grated
Instructions
- Heat a large stock pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Add the diced bacon and cook for 5-7 minutes until crispy and browned.
- Remove the bacon from the pot and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain the excess grease and set aside.
- Add the ground beef to the pan and brown it for about 5 minutes, stirring often and breaking it into small pieces until cooked through. Drain the meat after cooking. (you can leave the bacon grease in the pot or use a paper towel to remove it)
- Add the diced onion, celery, and carrots to the pot and cook for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
- Then, add the garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring often, until fragrant.
- Sprinkle the flour over top of the veggies and stir to coat completely.
- Next, add the chicken broth, half-and-half, BBQ sauce, dried parsley, salt, mustard powder, paprika and pepper. Stir to blend well, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to remove browned pieces.
- Add the cooked ground hamburger meal, cooked bacon crumbles and diced potatoes and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender.
- Then, add the freshly grated cheddar cheese and stir until the cheese has melted completely.
- Serve topped with croutons if desired.
Notes
- Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Leave the bacon out for just a cheeseburger soup if desired.
- I used 90/10 ground beef for less grease. Use any ground beef you prefer.
- Use ground chicken or ground turkey for lower fat version.
- Use ½ teaspoon of garlic powder instead of fresh minced garlic if desired.
- Use beef broth if desired.
- Use regular whole milk or a lower fat milk instead of half and half.
- Use any kind of cheese you'd like. Velveeta cheese, Monterey jack, American cheese, Colby, etc. but freshly shredded is definitely best for melted and creaminess.
- Use hashbrowns instead of cubed potatoes for quicker prep.
- Use cauliflower rice for a low carb version.
