Directions
-
In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat from the pot.
-
Stir in the chopped onion, celery, green pepper, potatoes, beef base, salt, and 1 1/2 cups of water.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes and vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork.
-
While the vegetables are simmering, whisk together 1/2 cup of the milk and the flour in a small bowl until smooth and lump-free.
-
Stir the flour-milk mixture into the simmering soup, followed by the remaining 2 cups of milk.
-
Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the chowder has thickened and comes to a gentle bubble.
-
Reduce heat to low and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until completely melted and combined.
-
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot in bowls.
