Print Recipe

A rich, hearty, and creamy slow cooker soup that combines cheeseburger flavors with tender potatoes for a cozy comfort meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 preferred)
  • 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth (low-sodium recommended)
  • 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 8 oz)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Optional toppings: cooked bacon bits, sliced green onions, extra shredded cheddar, pickles

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add chopped onions and cook until translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Transfer browned beef, sautéed onions, and garlic to the slow cooker. Add diced potatoes, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours until potatoes are tender but not falling apart. Alternatively, cook on high for 3-4 hours.
  5. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the milk and shredded cheddar cheese. Cover and cook for another 20-30 minutes until cheese is melted and soup is creamy and smooth.
  6. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Add a splash of milk or broth if soup is too thick.
  7. Ladle into bowls and garnish with optional toppings like bacon bits, green onions, extra cheddar, or pickles.

Notes

Brown the meat first to add flavor and reduce greasiness. Add cheese near the end to prevent graininess. Dice potatoes uniformly for even cooking. Avoid over-stirring during slow cooking to maintain texture. Use slow cooker liners for easier cleanup.
