Ingredients
- • ground beef: 1 pound
- • thick-cut bacon, chopped: 8 slices
- • medium onion, diced: 1
- • garlic cloves, minced: 4
- • beef broth: 4 cups
- • heavy cream: 1 cup
- • sharp cheddar cheese, shredded: 2 cups
- • russet potatoes, thinly sliced: 2
- • all-purpose flour: 2 tablespoons
- • Worcestershire sauce: 2 tablespoons
- • Dijon mustard: 1 tablespoon
- • olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • salt and pepper: to taste
- • fresh parsley, chopped: for garnish
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 2 In a large pot over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the bacon drippings in the pot.
- 3 Add the ground beef to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles. Remove from the pot and set aside with the bacon.
- 4 In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- 5 Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly for 2 minutes to cook out the raw flavor.
- 6 Gradually whisk in the beef broth, followed by the heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Bring to a simmer.
- 7 Return the cooked beef and bacon to the pot. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 8 In a separate bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
- 9 Ladle the stew into bowls and top with crispy potato slices. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • This indulgent stew pairs beautifully with a simple side salad featuring crisp greens and a light vinaigrette to balance the richness of the dish. Consider adding a basket of warm crusty bread for dipping, which will enhance the cozy, comforting experience. A glass of robust red wine such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or a frothy craft beer can complement the hearty flavors perfectly.
Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm the stew gently on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally until heated through. If the stew thickens too much in the fridge, add a splash of broth or cream to reach the desired consistency. The crispy potato toppers are best enjoyed fresh, but you can re-crisp them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes if needed.
