Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 3 medium Russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 medium Carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 Celery stalks, diced
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 4 cups Beef broth
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat and set the beef aside.
In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, diced carrots, diced celery, and minced garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste, stirring constantly.
Gradually whisk in the beef broth, ensuring no lumps remain. Add the diced potatoes and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Stir in the cooked ground beef and season with salt and black pepper. Pour in the milk and stir well, allowing the chowder to heat through, but do not boil.
Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring continuously until fully melted and the chowder is creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley, if desired.
