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!!
