How to Make Crockpot Cheeseburger Soup

• Step 1 – First brown the ground beef in a large skillet and drain off any excess grease.

• Step 2 – Then place the browned beef, potatoes, onions, carrots, seasoning, beef broth and cream of mushroom soup in the crock pot.  Gently stir to combine all the ingredients.

• Step 3 – Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 5-6 hours or high for 2.5-3 hours until the potatoes are tender.

• Step 4 – Then approximately 30 minutes before serving, dice up the cream cheese. Stir in the shredded cheese and the cream cheese into the crock pot.

• Step 5 – Cover and cook for about 30 minutes until the cheese is melted and incorporated into the soup.

• Step 6 – Serve warm with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Expert Tips

• Slow Cooker Recommendation – I love the programmable crock pot  for when you are not at home. You can set it for the amount you need and leave the house for the day. I also love my Instant Pot Aura Multi-Cooker. This slow cooker allows you to brown the ground beef directly in the slow cooker.
• Slow Cooker Liners – I highly suggest using crock pot liners to make cleaning the crock pot a breeze.
• Veggies – When dicing the vegetables, make sure to dice about the same size so they cook evenly in the slow cooker.
• Cream Cheese – When it is time to add in the cream cheese, we recommend dicing up into small pieces so that it melts easily.

Topping Ideas

Top this soup with your favorite cheeseburger toppings.  I topped mine with green onions, tomatoes, croutons and some more cheese (I can never have too much) and it was delicious.

However, this soup would be delicious topped with lettuce, pickles, sour cream and bacon as well to make a delicious bacon cheeseburger soup.  Yum!

Serving Suggestions
