Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 pound potatoes, peeled and diced (about 3 medium)
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of celery soup
  • 1 teaspoon dried mustard powder
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 8 ounces Velveeta cheese, cubed
  • 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup milk (for thinning, optional)
  • Toppings: extra shredded cheddar, chopped green onions, bacon bits

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is fully browned and the onion is soft. Drain off all excess grease.
  2. Transfer the cooked beef and onion mixture to the basin of your slow cooker.
  3. Add the beef broth, diced potatoes, cream of mushroom soup, cream of celery soup, dried mustard powder, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the slow cooker. Stir everything together well.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
  5. About 30 minutes before serving, reduce the heat setting to WARM if using HIGH. Stir in the cubed Velveeta cheese until it melts completely into the soup base.
  6. Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese until smooth and fully incorporated. If the soup seems too thick, stir in the milk until you reach your desired consistency.
  7. Taste the soup and adjust salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot with your favorite cheeseburger toppings.

Notes

  • Browning the beef first is key to developing a deep, savory flavor base for this hearty potato soup recipe.
  • For the creamiest texture, add the cheese slowly, stirring constantly until each addition is fully melted before adding the next batch.
  • If you prefer a lighter soup, substitute turkey bacon for traditional bacon in your toppings.
  • This recipe is inspired by the comforting style of Pioneer Woman slow cooker soup recipes.
