Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 1 large Carrot
• 2 stalks Celery stalks
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 4 cups Beef broth
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Mustard powder
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
• 0.25 cup Cooked bacon, crumbled

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess grease and set the beef aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to create a roux.

Step 5

Gradually add the beef broth, stirring to dissolve the roux completely. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.

Step 6

Add the diced potatoes and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 7

Pour in the milk and stir to combine. Add the cooked ground beef back into the pot.

Step 8

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, one handful at a time, letting it melt completely before adding more.

Step 9

Season the soup with salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard powder. Stir well to combine.

Step 10

Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to let the flavors meld together.

Step 11

Serve the soup hot, garnished with chopped green onions and crumbled bacon.
