-
In a large skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until browned then drain (this step can be done the day before and the beef refrigerated overnight).
-
Turn your slow cooker on LOW and add the cooked beef, the onions, tomatoes and Worcestershire sauce.
-
Cover and cook on LOW heat for 8 hours (or on HIGH heat for 4 hours).
-
About 15 minutes before serving, make sure the slow cooker is now on LOW or WARM then stir in the cheese and 3/4 of the crumbled bacon and cover.
-
Cook the waffle fries according to package directions.
-
Stir the soup mixture occasionally while the fries are cooking.
-
Add more Worcestershire sauce to taste if desired (careful - a little goes a long way).
-
Serve the soup garnished with lettuce, diced onion, bacon and waffle fries.
