Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion diced (about 1 cup)
1 medium red sweet bell pepper diced (about 1 cup)
1 clove garlic minced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups milk
2 cups beef broth
1 lb potatoes peeled and diced
5 oz bacon diced
12 oz processed cheese such as Velveeta, cubed
sliced green onions optional

Instructions

Heat a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, the onion and the pepper and cook, breaking up the beef as it cooks, until the beef is browned and cooked through and the vegetables are soft.
1 lb ground beef, 1 medium onion, 1 medium red sweet bell pepper
Stir in the garlic and the flour. Cook for 1 minute.
1 clove garlic, 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Slowly stir in the milk. Stir in the beef broth and potatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are cooked through, 15-20 minutes.
2 1/2 cups milk, 2 cups beef broth, 1 lb potatoes
While the soup is cooking, place the bacon in a small saucepan and cook until crisp. Remove to a paper-towel lined plate with a slotted spoon.
5 oz bacon
When the potatoes are tender, stir in the cheese until melted. Add the bacon, reserving some for topping the soup, and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
12 oz processed cheese, sliced green onions
Serve the soup topped with the bacon and sliced green onions, if desired. Serve warm.
