Ingredients
  

For the Soup
  • 8 oz Bacon chopped for better texture
  • 1.5 lbs Ground Beef (80/20 lean) alternatives like turkey or chicken work well
  • 1 medium Onion diced; consider shallots for a milder taste
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced; avoid overcooking
  • 1.5 lbs Russet Potatoes peeled and cubed; can swap with cauliflower for keto option
  • 4 cups Beef Broth vegetable broth can be used for a lighter soup
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce soy sauce can substitute in a pinch
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese cubed and softened
  • 3 cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese shredded; freshly shredded melts better

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Cook the chopped bacon in a Dutch oven over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes until crispy. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, brown the ground beef for 5-7 minutes until fully cooked. Drain excess grease.
  3. Sauté the diced onion for 5 minutes, then add minced garlic for an additional minute.
  4. Add cubed potatoes, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  5. Stir in the cream cheese until melted, creating a creamy base.
  6. Gradually mix in shredded cheddar until fully melted without boiling.
  7. Pour in heavy cream and mix in half of the reserved bacon. Warm on low for 3-5 minutes.
  8. Ladle into bowls and top with remaining bacon, shredded cheese, and your choice of toppings.
