Cheesy Burger Chowder

 

I love making a great pot of chowder, it is a perfect layering of flavors. These layers of flavors simmered together bring a bowl of goodness to the table that is very special. Our Cheesy Burger Chowder is made one layer at a time with vegetables and seasons that marry well in the simmering pot of chowder. This is our number one chowder request from family and friends, a winner every time!

How To Make Cheesy Burger Chowder

It is very important with this recipe to make sure you have all the chopped ingredients and seasons prepared for cooking.

We will begin our recipe with the bacon, 

to cook it slow and render the grease.

Add the celery, onion and garlic, with a medium low heat continue to cook the vegetables until the onions start to clear.

Add the bell pepper and carrots continuing

 to cook and stirring frequently.

Add the diced potatoes and stir well. Continuing to cook and stir.

Add the chicken broth, water, herbs and seasons then stir well.

Stir the vegetable mixture well, place the lid on the stew pot and continue to cook on low.

While the vegetables are cooking brown the burger. When the burger is browned, then salt and pepper to taste. Add 1 cup of water to the skillet to loosen the goodness in the bottom of the skillet.

Add the burger to the vegetables that should be tender.

Stir the chowder well.

Add the cheese cubes and stir well. Continue to stir until all the cheese is melted. Keep the heat on low or simmer at this point.

This amazing chowder is ready to serve!
