Slow Cooker Cheeseburger Soup

This beef and cheese soup is comforting and hearty.  Easy to make in the slow cooker.

I really felt like eating this the past few days, however, lots of the recipes I found either I didn’t have the ingredients to make it, or thought some of them were downright weird for this type of soup.

My pantry and freezer were filled with similar ingredients so I thought I’d try it out–and that it just may be an improvement over the standard recipe.

Back last winter I took advantage of a huge sale a local store was having on every variety of canned soup–not just the usual tomato, cream of chicken/mushroom, etc. Every variety was discounted, so I bought some of other varieties that I’d have to pay full price for ordinarily.  I picked up about 4 cans of cheddar cheese soup because it’s very useful to have on hand for anything quickie cheese–such as a sauce.

A hearty and delicious soup that’s a dinner

Most recipes I found used cream of chicken–I found this totally weird for a beef-based soup.  I’m not saying it would taste bad; it’s just weird is all.

I also didn’t have frozen shredded hash browns, and I wasn’t going out to buy them either.  But I did have half a bag of tater tots.  Now I think this is an improvement over the standard hash browns because tater tots have some onion and a very savory flavor, so they’d season the soup.  I also added a bit of extra onion–the instant kind–because I pretty much like a lot of onion in anything with ground beef. You can leave it out if it’s not your dish of tea.

I’d thought about adding bacon, but didn’t.  I reserved that as a topping.  Those that want it can add it and those who don’t like it (is there anybody that doesn’t like bacon??? But I imagine there are LOL) don’t have to have it.

This one is a meal, so maybe a crusty roll and a green salad is all you need to complete the meal.

    I really want a vegetarian version of this judith, can you help me with it.

      Sure you can. I’m vegetarian. You can substitute Morningstar crumbles for the ground beef. One package should work. You can also get vegetable broth cubes. Just leave the bacon off or use Morningstar breakfast strips. Their products are found in the freezer section of most grocery stores. Good luck.

    Have you tried doubling this for a larger group? If so, did you double all the ingredients?

    • Judith Hanneman says

      I’ve never tried doubling it, but I don’t think you’d run into problems doing it since it’s not like a cake that needs precise proportions to turn out right. If you do, let me know how it came out.

    Have you tried this using a low heat setting in the crockpot? If I were to leave it all day on low for work, with the velveeta in it from the start, do you think it would turn out the same?

    • Judith Hanneman says

      November 18, 2015 at 3:30 pm

      I don’t use the low setting too much because I’m home all day to tend it, but it should work fine for this soup. Since Velveeta melts so easily, I’d add it when you get home.

    I used this recipe as a guide. Since I use 97 % lean ground beef , I just broke it up raw in the crock pot. I sautéed real onions chopped , since I was doing that for a different dish anyway. . I added ground mustard to enhance the flavor of the cheeses. I also used Swanson cream starter instead of the cheddar cheese soup, water, and milk, and added a can of petite diced tomatoes since I like tomatoes on my cheeseburgers. I also used cooper sharp American cheese instead of velveta and I topped mine with pork rinds. It was fabulous!
