3 cloves Garlic
3 cups Yukon Gold Potatoes
4 cups Beef Broth
1 cup Dill Pickles
2 cups Cheddar Cheese
2 tbsp Yellow Mustard
1/4 cup Ketchup
1/2 cup Heavy Cream

Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it into small crumbles as it browns
- Add the diced onions to the pot and sauté until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute
- Pour in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to release flavorful browned bits. Add the potatoes, ketchup, mustard, and a splash of pickle juice. Bring to a gentle boil
- Reduce heat to low and cover the pot. Let the soup simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender
- Stir in the heavy cream and chopped dill pickles. Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring constantly until melted
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve hot, garnished with extra pickles, lettuce, and sesame seeds
Notes
Always shred your own cheese for better texture.
Don't skip the pickle juice for proper flavor.
