Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Peel and dice the potato into small cubes. Peel and dice the carrot. Finely chop the celery and onion.
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.
In the same pot, melt the butter. Add the onion, celery, and carrot, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken or beef broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add the diced potato and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
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.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with green onions if desired.
