| Hi Sof! |
Of course I had to find tons of delicious recipes on Pinterest! I thought I'd share a couple!
Cheeseburger Soup
1 1/2-2 lbs. ground sirloin
1 medium onion
3 cloves garlic, diced
pinch of cayenne pepper
1/2 bag of shredded hash browns (about 15 oz.), frozen
1 can of fire-roasted diced tomatoes (I used Rotel)
2 cups of chopped kale, discard the stems
1/3 cup ketchup
a squirt or 2 of your favorite mustard
4-6 oz. shredded gruyere cheese
1 can beer (or more stock)
1 1/2 boxes of chicken stock
a douse or 4 of worcestershire sauce
2 T. honey
salt & pepper along the way
Directions:
Brown the beef and add salt, pepper and cayenne pepper. Add the onions and garlic and saute until onions are translucent. Add the rest of the ingredients - except the cheese - and let cook on medium for about a half hour until the hash browns are soft. Then reduce heat to medium low and add the gruyere cheese and cook until it melts. Pay attention and stir frequently after you add the cheese because it will stick to the bottom and burn. Serve with Fritos!!
