Cheeseburger Soup
prep time: 5 minutes cook time: 20 minutes yield: 4 servings
What if I told you that when we get a cow from a local
farmer, we ask the butcher to make it all into
hamburger—even the prize cuts of steak! My family
prefers hamburger over steaks. My kids whine when I
make steaks, so why push it? I don’t want steaks,
either. I want hamburgers, sloppy Joes, protein
noodle lasagna, keto spaghetti, Paleo chili, easy
chipotle taco meat—you name it. Ground beef is how
we roll!
