Recipe Summary

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Total Time: 45 minutes

Servings: 6

Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 6 slices turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh dill for garnish
• Toasted bread slices for serving

Instructions

1. In a large pot over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Remove the beef and set aside, draining any excess fat from the pot.
2. In the same pot, add diced onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly to form a roux. Cook for 2-3 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
4. Slowly pour in the beef broth, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook until slightly thickened.
5. Return the cooked ground beef to the pot, along with crumbled turkey bacon. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, milk, and heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Gradually add shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until fully melted and the soup is creamy and smooth.
7. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh dill, and serve with toasted bread slices on the side.

Helpful Tips

• Variations: Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option. For a spicy kick, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
• Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
• Ingredient Substitutions: Use your favorite cheese such as Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack for a different flavor profile.

Pairings

This rich and flavorful soup pairs beautifully with a fresh, crisp salad or a simple side of sautéed greens. For a delightful drink pairing, consider a classic root beer float or a pint of your favorite craft beer.
