Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 4 medium potatoes, diced (Russet or Yukon Gold recommended)
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 4 cups beef or vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Dairy Ingredients

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup milk

Optional Garnishes

  • Crispy bacon bits
  • Sliced green onions
  • Additional shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef: Heat a skillet over medium heat and brown the ground beef until fully cooked and slightly crispy. This enhances the flavor and removes excess fat.
  2. Prepare the vegetables: Dice the potatoes, carrots, and onion into bite-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly and become tender in the slow cooker.
  3. Combine ingredients in the slow cooker: Add the browned beef, chopped vegetables, broth, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce into the slow cooker. Stir to mix everything evenly.
  4. Slow cook on low: Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours to allow flavors to meld and vegetables to soften perfectly.
  5. Add dairy for creaminess: About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and milk. Stir frequently to achieve a smooth, luscious, extra creamy texture.

Notes

  • Brown the beef thoroughly to avoid greasy or flat flavors.
  • Use starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for the best creamy consistency.
  • Add dairy ingredients near the end of cooking to prevent curdling and maintain soup smoothness.
  • Stir gently but often when adding dairy to achieve even creaminess.
  • Do not skip seasonings like salt and Worcestershire sauce for authentic cheeseburger flavor.
