Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb Ground beef
  • 1 medium Onion diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 3 medium Potatoes peeled and diced
  • 4 cups Chicken broth
  • 8 oz Cream cheese softened
  • 2 cups Milk
  • 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 0.5 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 tsp Dried mustard

Equipment

  • Crockpot
  • Large skillet
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat, then drain any excess fat.
  2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef and cook until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Transfer the beef mixture to the crockpot and add the diced potatoes, chicken broth, salt, pepper, and dried mustard.
  4. Stir everything to combine, then cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the potatoes are tender.
  5. Once the potatoes are tender, stir in the softened cream cheese until it is fully melted and incorporated into the soup.
  6. Gradually whisk in the milk and shredded cheddar cheese until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy and smooth.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with desired cheeseburger toppings like pickles, tomatoes, or extra cheese.

Notes

For a thicker soup, you can mash some of the potatoes against the side of the crockpot before adding the cream cheese and milk.
