Cheeseburger Paradise Soup

My husband does not like Velveeta Cheese, so I used 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese.
I have also decreased the amount of beef to 1 pound and it has been perfectly fine. Season the beef with salt and pepper when you brown it, it will taste better.

1 small onion, chopped
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
2 tablespoons chopped seeded Jalapeno pepper

2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons bouillon granules
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
2 tablespoons butter
5 cups 2 % milk, divided
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 package (16 oz) process cheese (Velveeta), cubed

In  a Dutch oven, bring the first 9 ingredients to a boil. Redice heat; cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
