A thick, cheesy, and cozy crockpot soup featuring browned ground beef, tender Yukon Gold potatoes, and sharp cheddar cheese. Perfect for a comforting, no-fuss meal that cooks itself.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20)
  • 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes (about 600 g), peeled and diced
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese (200 g), shredded
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth (960 ml), low sodium
  • 1 cup heavy cream (240 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons flour (can substitute cornstarch for gluten-free)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional garnish: chopped green onions or crispy bacon bits

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until no longer pink and starting to brown, about 6-8 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes until onions are translucent and fragrant, stirring occasionally.
  3. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of flour over the beef and onion mixture. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to cook out the flour taste and help thicken the soup.
  4. Transfer the beef mixture to the crockpot. Add 4 cups of beef broth, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and the diced Yukon Gold potatoes. Stir to combine evenly.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or on high for 2 hours until potatoes are tender and soup has thickened slightly.
  6. About 15 minutes before serving, stir in 1 cup heavy cream and 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese. Mix gently until cheese melts and soup is creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  7. Let the soup sit off heat for a few minutes to thicken further. If too thick, thin with a splash more broth or cream. Serve garnished with chopped green onions or crispy bacon bits if desired.

Notes

Brown the beef first to add savory depth. Add cheese and cream near the end to prevent curdling. Use Yukon Gold potatoes for best texture. Substitute flour with cornstarch for gluten-free. Adjust salt carefully due to broth and cheese. Can be adapted for vegetarian, low-carb, spicy, or dairy-free versions.
