Say Bacon and my family is all over it! That is why this Bacon Cheeseburger soup was a hit in my home.
Thanks to my son for suggesting to add bacon to the cheeseburger soup. I did and it gave an additional flavor to an already great soup!

This recipe called for processed cheese, which I am not a fan of using, so I substituted it with cheddar cheese. If a recipe calls for processed cheese you can substitute it with cream cheese and cheddar cheese. Since this recipe called for sour cream, I decided not to add cream cheese.
