This creamy crockpot cheeseburger potato soup is a comforting, set-it-and-forget-it meal that tastes just like your favorite burger joint in soup form. Made with only 6 main ingredients, it’s perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
  • 4 medium russet potatoes (about 2 lbs), peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 packet (about 1 oz) onion soup mix
  • Optional toppings: crumbled cooked bacon, diced pickles or pickle relish, chopped green onions or chives, extra shredded cheddar, ketchup and mustard drizzle

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned all over. Drain excess fat, leaving a tablespoon or two for richness. Transfer to the slow cooker.
  2. While the beef cooks, wash and peel the potatoes. Cut into ½-inch cubes and add to the slow cooker on top of the beef.
  3. Pour the beef broth over the beef and potatoes. Sprinkle the onion soup mix evenly over the top. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  5. Once potatoes are tender, cut the softened cream cheese into small cubes and add to the soup. Stir gently until fully melted and incorporated.
  6. Turn the slow cooker to warm or low heat. Add the shredded cheddar cheese a handful at a time, stirring after each addition until melted. Taste and adjust seasoning (salt is usually not needed).
  7. Ladle into bowls and top with desired toppings. Serve hot.

Notes

For best texture, use full-fat cream cheese and shred your own cheddar from a block. Let cream cheese soften to room temperature before adding. If soup thickens too much after sitting, stir in a splash of warm broth or milk. This soup tastes even better the next day.
