Notes
Shred your own cheese: Pre-shredded cheese often melts less smoothly.
Keep the texture good: Cut potatoes into even pieces so they cook at the same pace.
Prevent clumps: Add cheese off the hottest heat and stir gently to keep it silky.
Control thickness: Stir in a splash of broth if it thickens too much after sitting. And let it rest for a few minutes before serving so it thickens up slightly more.
Boost the burger vibe: Finish bowls with dill pickles or green onions sprinkled on top.
Go for deeper flavor: Brown the beef until it’s well colored, not just cooked through.
Mind the saltiness: Low sodium chicken broth helps if your cheese is salty and/or you're adding a crumbled bacon topping.
