Cheeseburger Stew #SundaySupper

You know the feeling you get when you wrap a warm  blanket around your shoulders and pull your feet up to the fireplace?  That is the feeling you get when you first bite into my Cheeseburger Stew. Warm and comfortable cheeseburger taste in a bowl!  This slimmed up version is difficult to differentiate from the full fat, high calorie version you find in diners, but it is much better for you!


When #SundaySupper asked us to make recipes using lean beef, this is one recipe that I love to use lean hamburger in.  You don't have to drain the fat from the burger which is a time saving step.  I never know what to do with that leftover fat, anyway!  With the wholesome goodness of carrots, onions and new potatoes, this soup leaves you feeling happy and satisfied.


This soup is outstanding at a tailgate party, or the SuperBowl, or any college game day football game. I usually have crackers, toast points, or sliced baguettes available for dipping.  Finished with your favorite, cold beer, it's a winner!

To make the "cheeseburger" part of the stew really stand out, we garnish our soup with ketchup, mustard and dill pickles.  Stir the garnish into the soup before eating.  It really tastes good!

  2. I have never thought to make a cheeseburger stew! I bet my kid would actually eat that. I do prefer lean ground beef over 80/20. The difference in calories is substantial. I just wish it wasn't so expensive.
