Ingredients

• 8 slices bacon
• 1 pound ground beef
• 3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced into small cubes
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups beef broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 cups frozen French fries, cooked according to package instructions
• 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cook bacon in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove bacon and let it drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Once cooled, crumble into small pieces and set aside.

Step 2

In the same pot, add the ground beef and cook over medium heat until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set the beef aside.

Step 3

Add the diced potatoes, onion, and garlic to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften and the garlic is fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, shredded cheddar cheese, ketchup, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Continue stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the soup has a creamy consistency.

Step 6

Return the cooked ground beef to the pot and stir to combine. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to ensure the flavors meld together.

Step 7

Ladle the soup into bowls and top with crumbled bacon and cooked French fries. Garnish with sliced green onions, if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Bacon Cheeseburger & Fries Soup!
