# Steps:
01 -
Scrub potatoes and pierce them multiple times with a fork. Microwave for 12-15 minutes, or until tender. Once cool, remove skins and cut into chunks.
02 -
Brown the ground beef in a large pot until no longer pink. Remove beef from pot and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate, draining excess fat.
03 -
In the same pot, melt butter and sauté onion, carrots, and celery until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
04 -
Whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute until thickened. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk while stirring.
05 -
Season with salt, garlic salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and stir in cooked ground beef and potato chunks.
06 -
Stir in cubed Velveeta cheese until melted. Remove from heat and mix in the sour cream. Serve with optional toppings if desired.
# Notes:
01 -
You may bake potatoes in the oven at 350°F for 45 minutes instead of microwaving them.
02 -
Substitute 3 cups of pre-cooked, refrigerated, or frozen potatoes if preferred.
