Print Recipe

This creamy crockpot cheeseburger potato soup is the ultimate comfort food—easy to make with just 5 simple ingredients, set-it-and-forget-it slow cooker magic, and the irresistible flavor of a loaded cheeseburger in soup form.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Ground Beef (80/20)
  • 6 cups Russet Potatoes, peeled and diced (about 3 large potatoes)
  • 4 cups Beef Broth (low-sodium recommended)
  • 1 (10.75 oz) can Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup
  • 2 cups Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • Optional toppings: diced dill pickles, crispy bacon bits, chopped green onions, sour cream, ketchup, mustard

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until fully cooked (5-7 minutes). Drain off excess fat.
  2. While beef browns, peel and dice russet potatoes into 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch cubes (about 6 cups).
  3. Layer diced potatoes in the bottom of a 6-quart or larger slow cooker. Top with drained browned beef.
  4. Pour beef broth and condensed cheddar cheese soup over the beef and potatoes. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours, until potatoes are fork-tender.
  6. About 15-20 minutes before serving, stir in shredded sharp cheddar cheese until completely melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste if needed.
  7. Serve hot, topped with desired cheeseburger toppings (diced pickles, bacon, green onions, sour cream, ketchup, mustard).

Notes

For best results, shred cheese from a block for smooth melting. Dice potatoes uniformly for even cooking. Don’t skip browning the beef—it adds essential flavor. If soup is too thin, mash some potatoes against the side of the crockpot or add a cornstarch slurry. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
