Okay, okay, so I know it’s January, and you’re already one week into your healthy eating goals, and I’m so proud of you, but..if, and I say if you were planning a cheat day…then you should make this bacon cheeseburger soup.

No pressure or anything.

Its supposed to get cold (for Florida standards) over the next couple of days, so I wanted to make a batch of soup that my daughter loves…

…and really who doesn’t love a bacon cheeseburger? 🙂

I also stumbled across some ready to bake bread bowls in the bakery and that pretty much sealed the deal for me.

Meat, potatoes, bacon, crusty bread, cheese…

I may have snuck some spinach in there too just for good measure. Ha!

I definitely couldn’t eat this thick and hearty soup all the time, but when you’re feeling like you want something that’s stick to your ribs tasty, this definitely does the trick!

It’s the perfect chilly weather meal. Especially for my northern friends who may really be craving a burger but are stuck inside due the weather.

Here’s how to make it…

Ingredients

Scale

1 lb ground beef
5 pieces thick cut bacon (diced)
5 yukon gold potatoes (diced)
1 yellow onion (diced)
2 cup fresh baby spinach (roughly chopped)
8 oz. shredded cheddar cheese
1 can diced tomatoes
1 32 oz. box beef stock
3 tablespoons burger seasoning
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
2 tablespoons sweet relish
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup half and half

Instructions

Set a large cast iron pot on the stove and turn the heat to a medium high. Dice up bacon and render the fat. When bacon turns crispy, remove it from the pot with a slotted spoon and set aside (try not to eat it all… )
Add in your diced onions into the bacon grease, when they begin to soften add in the ground beef and break it apart as it cooks into small crumbles.
While that’s cooking, dice your potatoes into bite sized pieces. Add them into the pot when beef has browned.
Add in the can of diced tomatoes, beef stock, condiments, and seasonings. Cover and let cook for 30 minutes or so.
Remove the pot from the heat, and pour in the half and half, and add in one handful of cheese at a time, stirring in between so it melts into the soup, toss in the fresh spinach at the end to wilt, and serve immediately topped with those crispy bacon bits if you didn’t eat them all 🙂 Enjoy!
