1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dry mustard

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

2–3 small potatoes, washed and chopped (optional; omit for keto)

8 cups beef broth (2 quarts)

4–6 dill pickle spears, chopped

2–4 tablespoons dill pickle juice (from the jar)

Shredded cheddar cheese (or preferred burger cheese) for garnish

Instructions

  2. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  4. Season with Lawry’s seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, dry mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well.
  5. Add potatoes, diced tomatoes, and beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 20–25 minutes until potatoes are tender.
  6. Stir in chopped pickles and pickle juice. Adjust seasonings to taste.

Notes

Omit potatoes for a keto-friendly version.

Pickle juice adds tangy depth—adjust to taste.

For a creamier soup, stir in heavy cream at the end.

Bacon makes a great topping for extra flavor.

Sharp cheddar gives the most authentic cheeseburger taste, but other cheeses work well.
