Bacon Jalapeño Cheeseburger Soup

We dug out an old favorite recipe for Cheeseburger Soup and gave it a little sprucing up.  Our NEW & Improved Bacon Jalapeño Cheeseburger Soup is the bombdiggity.

Those of us longing for spring and backyard BBQs, while Winter weather is still lingering, can get that fresh off the grill cheeseburger taste (and satisfaction) with this soup.  You just build it like you build your favorite cheeseburger and don’t skimp on the toppings.

Recipe tip: If you want a nice charbroiled flavor brown your ground beef in a hot pan.  You may want to wipe out any black bits before adding in the bacon.
