This creamy crockpot cheeseburger potato soup is an easy, comforting dinner that cooks itself. With just 15 minutes of hands-on time, you get a rich, cheesy soup that tastes like a cheeseburger in a bowl.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (85/20 or 90/10)
  • 6 cups russet potatoes, peeled and diced (about 3 large potatoes)
  • 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cheddar cheese soup
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (plus more for topping)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: crispy bacon bits, sliced green onions, pickled jalapeños, or a dollop of sour cream

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef (10 minutes): Heat your skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and diced onion. Cook, breaking the meat apart with a spoon, until the beef is browned and the onion is soft—about 7-8 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic for the last minute. Drain any excess fat if needed.
  2. Layer the slow cooker: Transfer the beef mixture to your slow cooker. Add the diced potatoes, beef broth, and the can of condensed cheddar cheese soup. Stir everything together until the soup is well combined.
  3. Slow cook (6-7 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high): Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. The potatoes should be fork-tender.
  4. Add the cream and cheese (5 minutes): About 20 minutes before serving, turn the slow cooker to warm or low. Stir in the heavy cream and the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix gently until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is smooth and creamy.
  5. Season and serve: Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Ladle into bowls and top with your favorite fixings. Serve hot.

Notes

Add cheese at the end off the heat to prevent graininess. If soup is too thick, stir in a splash of warm broth or milk. If too thin, mash some potatoes against the side of the pot.
