Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion
  • 1 Tablespoon cornstarch (optional, helps to thicken (or flour))
  • 4 cups milk
  • 1 cup beef stock
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella (or provolone, or combination)

Instruction

  • Cook the beef in a large soup pot over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain off extra fat. Keep the beef in the pot.
  • Add the bell pepper and onion to the pot. Cook until the vegetables are just softened, approximately 5 minutes.
  • Add the cornstarch (if using), milk, beef stock, salt, and pepper. Stir. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat. Add the cheese and stir until the cheese is melted.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper. If too thick, add more milk or stock. If too thin, continue cooking down or add more cheese or cornstarch.
