Bacon Cheeseburger Soup

12 oz thick cut bacon
1 lb lean ground beef
1/4 cup flour
1 tablespoon Montreal Steak Seasoning
2 teaspoons paprika
4 cups half and half
12 oz beer
16 oz shredded cheddar cheese
Salt to taste

Set Ninja on stovetop high
Chop bacon and cook until lightly crips
Add the beef and brown
Drain the meat mixture (all but about two tablespoons of the fat)
Add seasonings and flour, mix to coat
Add the beer, stir and cook about 5 minutes (it will thicken)
Add the half and half, stir and cook until bubbles start to form
Turn Ninja to warm and add the cheese
Stir until the cheese is all melted
Taste, add salt if needed 

This was very tasty!  My sister said it reminded her of a chowder so next time I may add potatoes to the mix!!
