Cheese, ground beef, and onion satisfy that craving for a classic burger and a hearty soup. We even included the pickle, ketchup, and mustard, and a side of roasted potato wedges.
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 stalk celery, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 14-ounce cans lower-sodium beef broth
- 2 medium potatoes, scrubbed and coarsely chopped
- 1 14½-ounce can diced tomatoes, drained
- 1 8-ounce package shredded cheddar and American cheese blend (2 cups)
- 1 6-ounces can tomato paste
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 2 Tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
- 1 cup whole milk
- Toasted buns or rolls
- Cheeseburger toppings, such as pickles, onions, lettuce, mustard, and/or ketchup (optional)
- In 4-quart Dutch oven cook beef, onion, celery, and garlic over medium heat until meat is browned and vegetables are tender; drain off fat. Sprinkle flour on beef mixture; cook and stir 2 minutes. Stir in broth and potatoes. Bring to boiling, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat. Simmer, covered, 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
- Stir in tomatoes, cheese, tomato paste, ketchup, and mustard. Cook and stir until cheese is melted and smooth and soup just comes to gentle boiling. Stir in milk; heat through. Serve with toasted buns and cheeseburger toppings.
