Ingredients

• 0.25 pound ground beef
• 1 medium russet potato
• 1 medium carrot
• 1 celery stalk
• 0.5 small onion
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups chicken or beef broth
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 0.75 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon green onion (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potato into small cubes. Peel and dice the carrot. Finely chop the celery and onion.

Step 2

In a medium pot over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Break it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain excess grease and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, melt the butter. Add the onion, celery, and carrot, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 5

Slowly pour in the chicken or beef broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add the diced potato and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 7

Stir in the cooked ground beef, milk, shredded cheddar cheese, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the chowder is creamy.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with green onions if desired.
