Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 6 slices of bacon, chopped
  • 1 onion, diced

Instructions

  1. Cook Bacon and Beef (15 mins): In a large pot, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove and set aside. In the same pot, cook the ground beef with the onions and garlic until browned. Drain excess fat.
  2. Add Potatoes and Broth (20 mins): Add diced potatoes and chicken broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender.

Notes

Perfecting this cheeseburger soup is all about balancing flavors – feel free to adjust salt and pepper according to your preference. If you’re after a thicker texture, consider blending a portion of the soup and mixing it back in. The hamburger buns are a must; they absorb the rich flavors beautifully. Experiment with toppings – think pickles, croutons, or even a dollop of ketchup or mustard. Pair this dish with a light salad to cut through the richness and enjoy a well-rounded meal.
