👇See the step by step directions below!

Crock Pot Cheeseburger Soup ingredients.
  • Bacon, cooked crispy: The smokiness of bacon adds a depth of flavor to the soup. If you're looking for substitutes, turkey bacon or even vegan bacon can work.
  • Browned ground beef: This gives the soup its meaty, cheeseburger-like taste. Ground turkey or plant-based meat can be used for a leaner or vegetarian option.
  • Diced onion and garlic cloves: These are the flavor building blocks of any good soup.
  • Diced tomatoes or rotel: Adds a tangy kick. Canned tomatoes can substitute if fresh ones aren't available.
  • Shredded cheddar cheese: Its creaminess enriches the soup. Feel free to substitute with other cheeses like mozzarella or Colby jack.
  • Beef broth and milk: The liquid base of the soup.
  • Salt and ground black pepper: For seasoning.
  • Cornstarch mixed with cold water: This thickens the soup. You can use flour if cornstarch isn't available.

Step by Step Directions

Follow these easy steps to create your Crock Pot Cheeseburger Soup:

  • Prep: Fry the bacon in a skillet and drain on a paper towel. Once cool, roughly chop and set aside.
  • Step 1: Wipe the skillet clean and add the ground beef and onion. Cook until the ground beef is browned, adding the minced garlic to the pan in the last few minutes of browning.
  • Step 2: Drain well in a colander and pour the browned meat, onion, and garlic into a crock pot.
  • Step 3: Add the diced tomatoes, 1 ½ cups of cheese, milk, beef broth, salt, and black pepper. Mix to combine.

  • Step 4: Cover the slow cooker and turn it on low. Let it cook for 2 to 3 hours.
  • Step 5: Once the soup is hot and the cheese has melted, add the cornstarch slurry and stir. Recover and heat about half an hour or until thickened.

Optional Garnishes

To enhance the flavors and the presentation of your Crock Pot Cheeseburger Soup, consider adding the following optional garnishes:

  • Chopped green onions: A sprinkle of these provides a mild, crunchy bite and a pop of color.
  • Sour cream: A dollop on top adds a creamy tang that complements the richness of the soup.
  • Croutons or toasted bread cubes: For a contrasting texture, these add a satisfying crunch.
  • Fresh diced tomatoes: To introduce a fresh element and tanginess to each spoonful.
  • Pickled jalapeños: For those who enjoy a spicy kick, these are a perfect addition.

Serving Suggestions

This Crock Pot Cheeseburger Soup is perfect on its own, but here are a few suggestions for making it even more delicious:

  • Serve with crusty bread or dinner rolls for dipping and sopping up the soup.
  • Pair with a crisp, green side salad tossed in a vinaigrette for a well-rounded meal.
  • Add some cooked and crumbled bacon on top for an even more indulgent experience.
  • For a heartier version, stir in some cooked pasta or rice before serving.

Storing Leftovers

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. This soup also freezes well for up to 2 months.

To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and heat on the stovetop or in the microwave.

📌Pro Cooking Tips

  • Use lean ground beef to reduce the fat content.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute the beef with plant-based meat and use vegetable broth.
  • If the soup is too thick, add more broth or milk.
  • For a spicier kick, add some crushed red pepper flakes.
  • If you're short on time, use pre-shredded cheese.
  • Freshly ground black pepper gives a better flavor than pre-ground pepper.
