Easy Cheesy Cheeseburger Chowder

1/2 pound ground beef
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cheddar cheese soup, undiluted
1 soup can of milk
1 soup can of chicken stock
1 cup frozen shredded hash brown potatoes or use fresh (I like fresh because I make them a little chunkier)
chopped onions to taste, optional (I use 1/2 an onion)
4-5 cloves of garlic chopped

Directions: In a large saucepan, cook beef and onions over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the potatoes, chicken stock and garlic. cook until potatoes are soft. Add soup and milk. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until heated through.

This is soooo good in a bread bowl. A sweet little cafe called Smoky Row in my home town makes this and it's fabulous!!
