Ingredients

  • 1 lb bacon chopped & cooked crisp, in a large heavy bottomed pot
  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 1 medium white onion peeled & diced
  • 2 tbsp minced garlic
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 14.5 oz can petite diced tomatoes undrained
  • 1 can condensed cheddar cheese soup
  • 2 1/2 tbsp Worcestershire soup
  • 1/4 cup dill pickle relish
  • French fried onions for garnish

Instructions

  • In a large Dutch oven, or heavy bottomed soup pot, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon to a paper towel lined plate. Set aside.
  • Add the ground beef to the pot with the bacon grease, and cook over medium heat, crumbling as it cooks. Once cooked through, transfer the meat to a strainer and let it completely drain of grease.
  • Return the beef to the pot, and stir in the onions. Cook until they've begun to soften, sweat, and turn translucent.
  • Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  • Add all of the remaining ingredients EXCEPT the relish. Stir to combine.
  • Bring the soup mixture to a boil, and then immediately reduce the heat to a low simmer. Let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, just long enough for the flavors to meld.
  • Remove the pot from heat, and stir in the relish.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls & top with the crisp bacon crumbles & fried onions.
