How to Make Crockpot Cheeseburger Soup
- Step 1 – First brown the ground beef in a large skillet and drain off any excess grease.

- Step 3 – Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 5-6 hours or high for 2.5-3 hours until the potatoes are tender.

Expert Tips
- Slow Cooker Recommendation – I love the programmable crock pot for when you are not at home. You can set it for the amount you need and leave the house for the day. I also love my Instant Pot Aura Multi-Cooker. This slow cooker allows you to brown the ground beef directly in the slow cooker.
- Slow Cooker Liners – I highly suggest using crock pot liners to make cleaning the crock pot a breeze.
- Veggies – When dicing the vegetables, make sure to dice about the same size so they cook evenly in the slow cooker.
- Cream Cheese – When it is time to add in the cream cheese, we recommend dicing up into small pieces so that it melts easily.
Topping Ideas
Top this soup with your favorite cheeseburger toppings. I topped mine with green onions, tomatoes, croutons and some more cheese (I can never have too much) and it was delicious.
However, this soup would be delicious topped with lettuce, pickles, sour cream and bacon as well to make a delicious bacon cheeseburger soup. Yum!
Serving Suggestions

Frequently Asked Questions
We like using russet potatoes in this cheeseburger soup recipe. But you can also use red potatoes or Yukon Gold Potatoes.
Yes, this soup can easily be cooked in a large pot or in a Dutch Oven. Follow the recipe as written and cook over medium-high heat to potatoes are tender and the soup has thicken.
I love leftovers and the leftovers of this soup heats up great. Place the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
The potatoes will soak up some of the broth when it’s stored, so I recommend adding some beef broth to the leftovers when heating up the leftovers to thin out the soup.
Watch the soup closely when reheating up the soap so that the potatoes don’t get too soft while being reheated.

I added sun dried tomatoes and a Serrano pepper. Served it with dill pickles!
Thank you
I’m so glad you enjoyed it – Thank you for the positive review!
I loved this recipe. It was so easy. I did add turmeric because I like mustard on my burgers. I used Kraft meltables. Next time I won’t add salt as the cheese was salty enough for my taste. I would also remember to garnish with green onions and bacon! ?
I love this recipe and decided to add spinach when I added the cheese!
Lucille – Yum! Spinach sounds delicious.
