Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 hamburger buns, diced into 1-inch cubes
4 slices bacon, diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces ground beef
1/4 cup unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
2 carrots, grated
1 teaspoon Worcestershire
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
2 cups milk, or more, as needed
2 russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons chopped chives

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spread bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place into oven and bake until crisp and golden, about 10-15 minutes; set aside. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add bacon and cook until brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; set aside. Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the beef as it cooks; drain excess fat and set aside. Melt butter in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add garlic, onion, celery, carrots and Worcestershire. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions have become translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk, and cook, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in potatoes. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 12-15 minutes. Stir in ground beef, cheese, salt and pepper, to taste.
