To be fair, I'll give you one. This soup is FANTASTICAL. I warn you...you may just lick out the saucepan...and once you make it for someone they'll ask for it over and over. I got it out of a Taste of Home cookbook (which are seriously THE BEST cookbooks - got my first one from my grandma almost 10 years ago for Christmas) and modified it here and there every time I made it. I use ground turkey instead of beef because it has less fat...and honestly, if it is in something like soup, tacos, chili, etc you cannot tell. Try it, I dare you. I also do not peel my potatoes, I like the flavor the skin gives...and it is less work. :) Here it is:

Ok, your turn.

I just made a chicken pot pie for the first time this week. It was excellent and easy! Great winter food!!
Thanks Holly! I am going to try this one out!! I even have all the ingredients at home. You always make the BEST meals. There are still meals I make that I learned from you. Here is one that we make ALL the time that we call "Yum Grenades", although they are the furthest thing from being healthy. They are small sandwiches with ham & swiss (or cheddar) baked inside King's Hawaiian Sweet Rolls. It kind of reminds me of eating white castles because you have to eat 3 or more! They taste great with a hearty tomato soup. I bet they would also taste great with your Spicy Cheeseburger Soup!
Ingredients:
1 stick butter
2 tsp Worcester Sauce
1 tsp Garlic Powder
12 King's Hawaiin Sweet Rolls
1 lb. shaved ham (deli or packaged)
1/4 lb. thinly sliced cheese (swiss or cheddar work fine)
Prep:
Cut your cheese into small squares so they are the same area as the roll.
Directions:
Melt butter. Add & mix garlic powder and worcester sauce with butter.
Pour 1/4 of butter mixture on the bottom of a 9 X 12 casserole dish (I use my pampered chef stone dish).
Cut rolls in half. Build rolls with 2 slices of cheese and 1-2 slices of ham as the center. Set sandwiches closely together in the casserole dish, on top of the butter mixture. Pour remaining butter mixture over the top and in between the sandwiches. Bake uncovered at 350 for 15 minutes (or until slightly browned).
Enjoy!
