Make this easy, set-it-and-forget-it slow cooker cheeseburger soup for a comforting family dinner. It combines ground beef, potatoes, and cheddar cheese into a rich, creamy meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried mustard powder
  • 1 pound potatoes, peeled and diced small
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cheddar cheese soup
  • 1 (10 ounce) can condensed cream of celery soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • Optional toppings: bacon bits, chopped green onions, extra cheese

Instructions

  1. Place the ground beef and chopped onion into your slow cooker. Cook on high for 1 hour, breaking up the beef with a spoon occasionally, until the beef is browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the beef broth, water, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and mustard powder to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
  3. Add the diced potatoes to the mixture.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
  5. Stir in the condensed cheddar cheese soup and condensed cream of celery soup.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 30 minutes, or until heated through.
  7. Reduce the slow cooker setting to the ‘Warm’ setting. Slowly stir in the milk.
  8. Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring constantly until the cheese is completely melted and the soup is smooth and creamy. Do not let the soup boil after adding the cheese.
  9. Serve hot with your preferred toppings.

Notes

  • Browning the beef before adding it to the slow cooker builds essential flavor for this soup.
  • Shred your own cheese instead of using pre-shredded for the best melting results.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 1/4 cup of cold water and stir this slurry into the soup during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
