Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Aromatics

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Vegetables

  • 2 cups diced Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 1 cup chopped carrots

Liquids and Dairy

  • 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Optional

  • ½ cup bacon bits (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Brown the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is no longer pink. Drain excess fat to keep the soup rich but not greasy.
  2. Sauté Onion and Garlic: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook until the onion is fragrant and translucent, about 3-5 minutes, to build a flavorful base.
  3. Combine Ingredients in Crockpot: Transfer the cooked beef mixture into the crockpot. Add diced Yukon Gold potatoes, chopped carrots, beef broth, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to combine everything evenly.
  4. Slow Cook the Soup: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors meld.
  5. Add Cream and Cheese: About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the heavy cream and shredded sharp cheddar cheese until melted and well incorporated. Optionally, add bacon bits for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a thicker soup, mash some of the cooked potatoes before adding the cream and cheese.
  • Add bacon bits just before serving to keep them crispy, or cook them in the skillet with the beef for more infused flavor.
  • You can substitute Yukon Gold potatoes with russet potatoes if desired, but the texture will be slightly different.
  • Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preference, especially considering the saltiness of the beef broth and cheese.
  • This recipe can be doubled to feed a larger crowd; just increase the cooking time slightly if needed.
