Description
Slow Cooker Cheeseburger Soup is a creamy, hearty comfort food that combines the flavors of a classic cheeseburger with the warmth of a cheesy potato soup. Perfect for busy weeknights or cozy family dinners.
Ingredients
1 lb ground beef, browned and drained
4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups chicken or beef broth
2 medium carrots, diced
2 celery ribs, diced
2 tsp dried parsley
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
4 oz cream cheese, cubed
2 Tbsp butter
Instructions
Brown the ground beef in a skillet, then drain excess fat.
Add diced potatoes, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, broth, parsley, salt, pepper, and the cooked beef to the slow cooker.
Cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
In a small saucepan, melt butter, whisk in flour, then slowly add milk to form a thickened base.
Stir the milk mixture into the slow cooker, then add cheddar and cream cheese. Mix until melted and creamy.
Serve hot with garnishes like bacon, extra cheese, or parsley.
Notes
Top with crumbled bacon, pickles, or green onions for extra flavor.
For a smoother soup, mash some of the potatoes before adding the cheese.
Freeze in portions but note that potatoes and dairy may change texture when thawed.
