Ingredients
-
1 pound ground beef
-
5 slices thick-cut bacon, diced
-
1 yellow onion, diced
-
5 medium Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced
-
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
-
32 ounces beef broth
-
3 tablespoons burger seasoning
-
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
-
2 tablespoons sweet relish
-
1/4 cup ketchup
-
1/4 cup half-and-half
-
8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the diced bacon until crisp. Remove and set aside, leaving the grease in the pot.
-
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces. Drain excess grease if needed.
-
Add the diced onion and cook until softened. Stir in the diced potatoes.
-
Add the diced tomatoes, beef broth, burger seasoning, mustard, relish, and ketchup. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
-
Cover and cook for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
-
Reduce heat to low. Stir in the half-and-half, then add the shredded cheddar cheese a little at a time until melted and smooth.
-
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
-
Serve hot, topped with crispy bacon.
Notes
-
Use freshly shredded cheese for the smoothest texture.
-
Add cheese over low heat to prevent curdling.
-
If the soup thickens too much, add a splash of broth or milk before serving.
