Ingredients
- 6 trips Bacon
- 1 small onion chopped
- 2 talks celery chopped small
- 1 large carrot peeled and shredded
- 1 teaspoon Lawry's Seasoning Salt
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley
- cracked black pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1 pound ground beef the leaner the better
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon better than bouillon beef base
- 4 cup water
- 8 ounces Velveeta cheese* half of a small block
- 1/2 head iceberg lettuce shredded, to garnish
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1/2 cup chopped pickles to garnish
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese to garnish
- Shirley's Famous Dinner Rolls to serve with soup
Instructions
- Cook the bacon. Use kitchen shears to cut bacon into small pieces. Place all the bacon into a 6 quart pot or dutch oven. Cook the bacon over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until it is as crispy as you like it. Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate and set aside. Leave the bacon grease in the pot. (Turn off the heat, unless your veggies are already chopped.)
- While the bacon cooks, chop the veggies. Chop 1 small onion. Chop 2 stalks of celery into a fairly small dice. Peel one large carrot and shred, using a box grater. Or you can shred using a food processor. Heat up the bacon grease over medium heat, and add the onion, celery, and carrot to the pot.
- Spices. Add 1 teaspoon Lawry's seasoning salt and 2 teaspoons dried parsley. Add cracked black pepper to taste. Saute for about 5 minutes, until the onions are soft and translucent.
- Flour. Sprinkle 1/4 cup flour over the veggies in the pot and stir together.
- Add 1 pound ground beef to the veggies. Break it up and cook completely, until no longer pink, another 5-10 minutes. (If your beef was very fatty, take a moment to ladle out some of the grease.)
- Add 1 tablespoon tomato paste, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, and 1 tablespoon Better Than Bouillon Beef Base. Stir it into the ground beef.
- Add 4 cups of water. Chop 8 ounces of Velveeta into 1 inch cubes, and add to the soup.* Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Scrape the bottom of the pot to stir up all the browned bits. Stir until all the Velveeta is melted.
- Once the soup boils, lower the heat to medium and continue simmering for another 20-30 minutes with the lid off.
- Serve the soup in bowls topped with cheeseburger garnishes: bacon, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.
- Don't forget to serve this Cheeseburger Soup with buttery soft dinner rolls!
Notes
- *If you are too good for Velveeta, replace with 2-3 cups shredded cheddar cheese that you have shredded by hand (it will melt better). Don't add it when the Velveeta is added; add freshly shredded cheese at the very end, about 1-2 minutes before turning off the heat. Stir until smooth.
