Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.
