Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 medium Russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups whole milk
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup dill pickles, diced (optional)
- 0.25 cup cooked bacon, crumbled (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess grease, then transfer the cooked beef to a plate and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring often to prevent burning.
Stir in the diced potatoes, chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and milk until smooth. Gradually stir the mixture into the pot, then let the chowder simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted and combined. Return the cooked ground beef to the pot and mix well.
If desired, stir in the diced dill pickles and crumbled bacon for extra flavor.
Taste the chowder and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers on the side and enjoy your comforting Cheeseburger Potato Chowder!
