???? Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Ground Beef

1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula—about 6–8 minutes.
3. Season with salt and pepper, then remove the beef from the pot and set aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

1. In the same pot, add a little more oil if needed. Sauté the onions, carrots, and celery over medium heat until softened—about 5–6 minutes.
2. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 3: Add Potatoes and Broth

1. Return the cooked ground beef to the pot.
2. Add the diced potatoes and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
3. Cover and cook for 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 4: Make the Cheese Sauce

1. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
2. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute to make a roux.
3. Slowly whisk in the milk and cream, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens—about 3–4 minutes.
4. Turn off the heat and stir in the cheddar cheese until melted. Add mustard if using.

Step 5: Combine and Serve

1. Pour the cheese mixture into the soup and stir until well combined.
2. Simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.
3. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

????️ Serving Suggestion
