Ingredients

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

Recipe Instructions

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.
