Bowl of spicy cheesy hamburger potato soup with sour cream, cheddar and green onions

Instructions

  1. Prep the potatoes

    Cube the potatoes and set aside.

  2. Brown the meat

    In a large pot, cook the cubed bacon and ground beef with the Sunday Best Rub until browned.

  3. Build the base

    Add onion and garlic, cook 3–4 minutes — longer if you want the onions softer.

  4. Simmer

    Add potatoes and beef broth. Simmer 15–20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.

  5. Thicken

    Mash about half the potatoes right in the pot. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and simmer 1–2 minutes to thicken.

  6. Melt it down

    On very low heat, stir in the shredded cheddar until melted and creamy. Add the heavy cream.

  7. Rest & serve

    Rest 2 minutes, then serve with extra cheddar, sour cream, crumbled bacon, and green onions.
