Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
4 cups Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium carrots, diced
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup heavy whipping cream
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 tbsp olive oil or butter
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1 tsp dried parsley
Instructions
-
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened.
-
Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess grease.
-
Stir in diced carrots and potatoes. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Sprinkle in flour, stir to coat the mixture, and cook for 1–2 minutes.
-
Slowly add chicken broth while stirring. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until potatoes and carrots are tender.
-
Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted. Add heavy cream and stir to combine. Simmer for another 3–5 minutes.
-
Season with salt, black pepper, and parsley. Serve hot.
Notes
-
Make it gluten-free by swapping flour for a gluten-free alternative or cornstarch.
-
For a lighter version, substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken.
-
Add extra veggies like celery, bell peppers, or corn for variety.
-
Use freshly shredded cheese for the smoothest texture.
-
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze (without cheese and cream) for up to 3 months.
