1can (10 oz)Rotel fire roasted tomatoes with green chilies
salt and pepper to taste
Garnishes:
parsley
dill pickle chips
toasted, cubed hamburger buns
Instructions
In a large soup pot, add water, beef broth and potatoes and bring to a boil until potatoes are tender, but not mushy. (Do not drain the liquid from the potatoes.)
While potatoes are cooking, in a large skillet, chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces and cook until crispy, remove and drain the grease from the pan, but do not wipe clean. In the same skillet, brown ground beef, onions and garlic. Once the meat is cooked through, drain the grease and set the beef aside.
In the same skillet, whisk together, pickle juice, dry mustard, Sriracha and Better than Bouillon until heated and bubbly. Slowly add the heavy whipping cream, whisking continuously until it thickens. Add the cheese and stir continuously until melted over low heat.
Once the potatoes are done add ground beef, bacon, parsley and Rotel back to the soup pot and bring to a simmer. Add cheese mixture from the skillet to the soup pot and stir well. Let simmer over low heat for about ten minutes.
Serve in bowls topped with more parsley, pickle chips and toasted hamburger buns.
