Today, I wanted soup and I also wanted to use ground beef. So, I decided that cheeseburger soup sounded good, if it even existed. It does, but most recipes I found have celery, carrots, potatoes. All good things, but I really just wanted it to taste like a cheeseburger. It did! My husband and I both liked it, but my kids weren’t really fans. (But, they were both grumpy, so that may have played a part in their not liking it.)
Bacon Cheeseburger Soup
What you need:
1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup diced red onion
1/2 cup diced mushrooms**
3 tablespoons flour**
2 cups milk**
4 cups beef broth
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
4 slices bacon, crumbled
How to make it:
In a large pot, mix together ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, seasoned salt, and pepper. Brown meat over medium high heat. Stir in diced onion, and cook until soft. Next, stir in diced mushrooms, and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle in flour, stir in and cook for 4-5 minutes. Pour in milk and beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low to simmer for 20-30 minutes. Stir in shredded cheese and crumbled bacon, and heat until cheese is melted.
**If desired, a can of cream of mushroom soup concentrate or homemade cream of mushroom soup concentrate can be substituted for the mushrooms, flour, and milk.
