I chop my veggies in the food processor. In place of the basil I use thyme & marjoram or sage. I also season my ground beef with a bit of worcestershire sauce. Good stuff!!!

Ingredients

• 2 cups shredded pepper-jack cheese (or shredded cheddar cheese)
• 1 small white or yellow onion, chopped
• 4 small potatoes, peeled and diced
• Green onion, chopped (for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 8 slices cooked, chopped bacon
• 3 Tablespoons butter
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk ( I use 2%)
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. First, Place potatoes, onions, carrots, dried basil and parsley in a large crock pot. Pour chicken broth over vegetables. Cover with lid. Cook on low heat 6 to 8 hours OR on high heat 4 to 5 hours or until potatoes are tender.
2. Then, About 45 minutes before serving, cook and crumble ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain any grease. Pour cooked ground beef into crock pot. Add in the cooked, chopped bacon as well.
3. Carefully wipe out hot skillet with a paper towel then add butter. When butter is melted whisk in flour and cook until golden brown and bubbly (about 1 minute.) Whisk in the milk, salt and pepper. Pour mixture into the crock pot and stir to combine everything.
4. Add shredded pepper jack cheese to crock pot. Stir again. Cover with lid and cook another 20 minutes or until cheese is melted.
