Description

This rich, cheesy chowder with beef, sausage, potatoes, and sour cream is like a cheeseburger in a bowl that friends and family will love.

Ingredients

1/2 pound ground beef
1/2 pound ground sausage
1/2 cup diced onion
6 cups chicken broth
2 cups cubed potatoes
1 1/2 cups finely chopped carrots
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried basil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups milk
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sour cream
2 cups cubed processed cheese food
1 cup diced tomatoes

Directions

1 Combine beef, sausage, and onion in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain off grease and transfer to a large pot.
2 Stir broth, potatoes, carrots, garlic, parsley, basil, salt, and black pepper into the beef mixture. Simmer over low heat, covered, until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
3 Mix milk and flour together in a small bowl. Pour into the pot. Bring back up to a simmer until chowder flavors combine, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
4 Stir processed cheese and sour cream into chowder when it is no longer boiling, to prevent curdling. Ladle into serving bowls and top each serving with some diced tomatoes.
