Bacon Cheeseburger Soup

Bacon Cheeseburger Soup

4 tablespoons butter
1 pound ground beef (80/20) cooked and drained
1 cup diced onion
1 cup diced celery
6 cups beef broth
2 tablespoons flour (optional)
3-4 cups shredded cheddar cheese (I use Tillamook sharp cheddar)
1 cup half and half
8 ounces cream cheese
small can of tomatoes (optional)
½ cup chopped garlic dill pickles
1 pound of bacon, cooked – drained and chopped

salt and pepper to taste – the cheese adds a good amount of salt, garlic powder is always good too. 

Top with chopped tomatoes, chopped lettuce, cheddar cheese and bacon.
Place butter in stock pan, add onions and celery and cook until softened a little. 
Cook ground beef in a frying pan and drain. 
To the softened veggies, add the flour and cook until combined. 
Add the beef broth to the stock pot and when warmed add the cream cheese and tomatoes.
Add the ground beef, and the pickles.
