Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb ground beef lean 90% preferred
  • 1 cup yellow onion, diced
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 0.75 cup celery, diced
  • 3 cup russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cup beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1.5 tsp kosher salt to taste
  • 1 tsp black pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened cut into cubes
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 0.5 cup cooked bacon, crumbled optional for topping
  • 0.25 cup dill pickles, finely chopped optional for topping
  • 0.25 cup green onions, sliced optional for garnish

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until no longer pink, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  • Add butter and diced onion to the skillet; cook until the onion softens, about 3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle flour over the beef mixture and cook, stirring, for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
  • Transfer beef mixture to the slow cooker. Stir in carrots, celery, potatoes, garlic, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon, paprika, salt, pepper, and dried parsley.
  • Cover and cook on Low for 6 hours or on High for 3 hours, until potatoes are tender.
  • In a small bowl, whisk softened cream cheese with a ladle of hot soup liquid until smooth, then stir it back into the slow cooker to prevent lumps.
  • Stir in heavy cream and shredded cheddar. Cover and cook on Low for 15 minutes, just until cheese is fully melted and soup is creamy.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  • Ladle into bowls and top with crumbled bacon, chopped pickles, and green onions if desired.
  • Serve hot with crusty bread or toasted buns for the full cheeseburger experience.

Notes

For a thicker soup, mash some of the potatoes against the side of the slow cooker before adding the cheese and cream. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat gently over low heat, adding a splash of broth if needed. This soup also works with ground turkey.
