Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 3 cups Chicken or beef broth
• 1 large Russet potato, diced
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Mustard
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Green onion, sliced (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles with a wooden spoon. Drain excess grease if needed, then set the cooked beef aside.

Step 2

In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3

Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the broth until smooth and combined.

Step 4

Add the diced potato to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the potato pieces are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 5

Stir in the cooked ground beef, milk, cheddar cheese, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the cheese is melted and the chowder is smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Simmer the chowder for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onion.
