Cheeseburger and Fries Soup

My bestie Roxanne has a 6 hour crock pot cheeseburger soup recipe I love. Today I wanted some but didn’t have 6 hours. Then, wandering through Target, saw their Julienne Potatoes with Cheddar Cheese (basically just string shaped potatoes au gratin) and had an evil idea.

Here it is. 45 minutes prep time.

1 stick of butter, diced
5 tablespoons canola oil (ballpark it)
1/2 a small sweet onion, chopped small
few tablespoons of flour, dusted over top

brown the above ingredients... add

2 pounds ground beef
salt and pepper to taste

add and brown all of the beef and onions-- leave a bit of pink in the meat, add

2 cups of beef broth

heat through, add

2 boxes Market Pantry Julienne Potatoes with Cheddar --including the cheese packets

mix in well, add

4 cups of milk
2 teaspoons Mrs. Dash or similar

Cook til potatoes are tender-- about 30 minutes. Add parsley or shredded cheddar if desired.
