Has anyone ever made or had this? I saw it on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives and I'm going for it this week. Call me crazy but I think it sounds sooo good! I don't remember where I found this exact recipe but the place Guy Fieri went was called Grover's Bar & Grill, it looked awesome
2 Tablespoons butter
2 Tablespoons flour
2 cups milk, warm
4-6 cups shredded cheddar cheese (for soup) (Grover’s uses velveeta)
16 oz of beef or chicken stock (I used beef, Grover’s uses chicken)
1 lb very lean ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
S&P to taste
4 small tomatoes
½ small head iceberg lettuce, finely shredded
1 cup shredded cheddar (for top of soup)
First, chop your onion and add it to a skillet with the 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook for a few minutes until the onion begins to caramelize then add the ground beef. Add some S&P and cook completely until the meat is no longer pink, then set aside. Take a small stock pot and add the butter and flour and cook for a few minutes to create a paste. Slowly add in the warm milk and whisk until it begins to thicken. Add a little S&P and then begin to add the shredded cheddar a little at a time until you get the consistency you want. I kept it to about 4 cups, but you may prefer to have yours a little creamier. At this point, taste again for S&P, then add the cooked ground beef and stir until it is well incorporated. Serve into soup bowls and top with lettuce, tomato and some more shredded cheese.
Lettuce in soup? Okay!
