Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large dutch oven over medium-high heat, brown ground beef with the seasoned salt and black pepper. Add onion and garlic to beef halfway through cooking. 
  2. If needed, strain fat from the meat. Return meat to the pot, then sprinkle in flour and stir to combine.
  3. Whisk in the milk and continue to whisk until thickened.
  4. Add the Velveeta in batches and whisk into meat, milk and flour mixture until melted and combined. 
  5. Once all the cheese is melted and combined, add the beef or chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Add the carrots and potato and simmer until the vegetables are soft but still hold their shape, about 15-20 minutes. 
  6. 5-10 minutes before serving, add the bacon and fresh or dried dill. Stir to combine and continue to let simmer.
  7. To make the hamburger bun croutons: Preheat oven to 375℉. Toss cubed hamburger buns with the olive oil or melted butter and a heavy pinch of seasoned salt. Spread evenly onto a baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until croutons are golden brown.
  8. Serve the soup with hamburger bun croutons, relish, and diced tomato as desired.
