A comforting and easy slow-cooked soup that combines the flavors of a cheeseburger with creamy, cheesy goodness. Perfect for busy days and crowd-pleasing meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20, grass-fed preferred)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced (about 1/2 inch cubes)
  • 4 cups beef broth (low-sodium recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup dill pickles, diced
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 200 g)
  • 4 oz cream cheese (about 113 g), cut into chunks
  • 1 cup heavy cream (240 ml)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional garnish: chopped green onions or extra shredded cheddar

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. Add diced onions and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until onions soften and become translucent.
  3. Peel and dice the russet potatoes into bite-sized cubes, about 1/2 inch.
  4. Transfer the beef, onions, and garlic to the slow cooker. Add the diced potatoes, beef broth, tomato paste, and Dijon mustard. Stir to combine.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until potatoes are tender.
  6. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese chunks, and diced dill pickles. Mix well to melt the cheeses into the soup.
  7. Stir in the heavy cream. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Cook for another 10-15 minutes to heat through.
  8. Ladle into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions or extra shredded cheddar if desired.

Notes

Do not skip browning the beef and sautéing onions and garlic to build deep flavor. Use sharp cheddar cheese for best melting and flavor. Cut potatoes evenly for consistent cooking. Add cheeses and pickles near the end to keep flavors bright and creamy. Adjust salt gradually due to salty broth and cheese. If soup is too thick, add broth or milk to loosen. Can be adapted for stovetop cooking by simmering for 45 minutes.
