📋 Instructions

Brown the ground beef in a large soup pot. Drain, rinse with hot water, and set aside.

Sauté onion, carrots, celery and basil in the same pan in oil until tender. Add flour and mix well, then add broth, potatoes and beef. Stir until mixed and flour dissolves. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until potatoes are tender. Add cheese, milk, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring regularly, until cheese melts.

Turn off heat and add sour cream. Stir until blended and serve.

💭 Tips

Keep bulk-cooked ground beef in the freezer to speed up preparations for soups, casseroles, and skillet meals.  When you find ground beef on sale, buy several pounds and cook it all at once. Store in the freezer in portions equal to the number of pounds you purchased. Cooked beef takes up less space and buying on sale saves money, so it’s a win-win.
