Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 pound potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried mustard
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cheddar cheese soup
  • 1 (10 ounce) can condensed cream of potato soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 8 ounces Velveeta cheese, cubed
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • Optional toppings: bacon bits, chopped green onions, extra shredded cheese

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is fully cooked and the onion is soft. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Transfer the browned beef and onion mixture to your slow cooker.
  3. Add the beef broth, water, diced potatoes, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried mustard to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
  5. Once the potatoes are soft, stir in the condensed cheddar cheese soup and the condensed cream of potato soup.
  6. Pour in the milk and stir until everything is mixed well.
  7. Add the cubed Velveeta cheese and stir occasionally until it is completely melted and the soup is creamy.
  8. Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
  9. Taste the soup and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
  10. Serve hot with your favorite toppings, like bacon bits or green onions.

Notes

  • Browning the beef first adds depth of flavor to this slow cooker cheeseburger soup. Do not skip this step for the best results.
  • For a smoother soup, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the final cheeses.
  • If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a splash more milk or broth when reheating.
