Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Cook beef: In a large pot, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.
  2. Sauté veggies: Add onion, celery, carrots, and garlic. Cook 5 minutes until softened.
  3. Add liquids and potatoes: Stir in beef broth, diced tomatoes, potatoes, paprika, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
  4. Simmer: Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 15–20 minutes, until potatoes are tender.
  5. Add dairy: Reduce heat to low. Stir in milk, cheddar cheese, and cream cheese (if using) until melted and smooth. Do not boil.
  6. Add pickles (if using): Stir in chopped pickles for that classic cheeseburger tang.
  7. Taste and adjust: Add more salt, pepper, or mustard if desired.
  8. Serve hot: Ladle into bowls and garnish with parsley. Serve with crusty bread or crackers!

Tip: For a low-carb version, omit potatoes and add cauliflower florets. Reheats beautifully — great for leftovers!
