Instructions

How to Make Easy Crockpot Cheeseburger Soup

  • Cook Ground Beef: In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until it's no longer pink. Drain excess grease and transfer to crockpot.
  • Sauté Onion and Garlic: In the same skillet, add diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté over medium heat until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add to crockpot.
  • Combine Ingredients: Add beef broth, potatoes, carrots, celery, diced tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, dried herbs, salt, and pepper to the crockpot. Stir well.
  • Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until vegetables are tender.
  • Add Cream and Cheese: Stir in heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese about 30 minutes before serving until melted.
  • Taste and Adjust Seasoning: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
  • Garnish and Serve: Ladle into bowls and top with garnishes like bacon bits, green onions, or extra cheese.

Notes

Make sure to drain the grease after browning the beef for a lighter soup. You can substitute ingredients based on preference or availability.
