- 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 - 32 oz. carton beef broth full sodium
- 1 1/2 cups carrots peeled and diced
- 4 medium potatoes peeled and cubed
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 cans 12 oz. evaporated milk, or half and half
- ¼ cup Worcestershire Sauce
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon basil
- 1 teaspoon thyme or Italian seasoning
- 2 teaspoons Lawry’s seasoning salt
- pepper to taste
- Bacon optional
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sauté ground beef with minced garlic until cooked (about 8–10 minutes), then drain off excess fat.
In a large pot combine hamburger meat, beef broth, carrots, potatoes, and onion powder. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes.
While simmering, melt butter in a large saucepan. Whisk in the flour and cook for another minute (or until golden brown). Whisk in evaporated milk and Worcestershire sauce and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Add cheese and stir until it is all melted. Add basil, thyme, seasoning salt, and pepper. Pour cheese sauce into the large pot and stir until well combined.
Add more milk for a thinner consistency and add any additional salt and pepper needed. Top with more shredded cheese and bacon pieces. Serve warm.
