MAMA B’S CHEESEBURGER CHOWDER ALTERNATIVES
You could easily mix and match different variations of cheeseburger chowder.
Here are a few ingredient substitution ideas:
Meat
– Swap out the ground beef for chicken, turkey, spicy sausage or simply all bacon.
Vegetables
– I left out the celery, but you could easily add this in with peppers, tomatoes or mushrooms. Hashbrowns could be replaced with diced potatoes.
Cheese
– a great way to use up what you have in the fridge. I grew up with Velveeta in my moms Cheeseburger Chowder. Add pepperjack for some kick.
Milk
– You could use coconut milk, half and half, or unsweetened almond milk.
Broth
– Vegetable, beef, or chicken broth would be acceptable.
