Mae's Cheeseburger Soup
  • 2 lbs. hamburger
  • 4 cups cooked rice
  • 1 cup carrots
  • 1 onion
  • 1 pound Velveeta cheese
  • 4 Cups milk
  • 4 t chicken bouillon
  • 1 16oz pkg sour cream
  • 4 t pepper
Saute onions and carrots in a large pot until tender. Cook rice according to directions. Brown hamburger in a frying pan.

Add hamburger, rice, milk, cheese to the vegetables and heat through. Add sour cream last (do not boil).

This recipe is courtesy of our Amish-ish friend, Mae, passed to me through my mother. I happened to have everything on hand so I made a big pot of it- and I do mean big. Seriously, don't make this stuff unless you're expecting the Duggar family for dinner or you plan on making April the Month of Cheeseburger Soup. I've been eating it for a week and finally took it to TJ & Alycia's to get rid of the last bit. It's a great comfort food and I especially like it with tortilla chips and salsa.
