Crock Pot Cheeseburger Soup Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 small russet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 small white or yellow onion, chopped
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1/2 cup diced celery
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk (2% recommended)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 package (16 ounces) Velveeta cheese, cubed (or 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese)

Directions:

1. Add Vegetables and Broth to Crock Pot
   Place the diced potatoes, chopped onion, shredded carrots, and diced celery in a large crock pot. Sprinkle with dried basil and parsley, then pour the chicken broth over the vegetables. Cover with the lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
2. Prepare the Ground Beef
   About 45 minutes before serving, cook and crumble the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain any excess grease, then add the cooked beef to the crock pot.
3. Make the Creamy Base
   Carefully wipe out the hot skillet with a paper towel, then melt the butter in the skillet. Whisk in the flour and cook until the mixture is golden brown and bubbly, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
4. Combine and Melt the Cheese
   Pour the milk mixture into the crock pot, stirring to combine with the soup. Add the cubed Velveeta or shredded cheddar cheese, stir, and cover. Let the soup cook for an additional 20 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is creamy.
5. Serve and Enjoy
   Ladle the soup into bowls and serve warm for a rich, cheeseburger-inspired meal!

Recipe Notes:

• Cheese Options: Velveeta provides a smooth, creamy texture, but shredded cheddar adds a sharp flavor. Feel free to use your favorite cheese!
