Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small sweet onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 3 medium russet potatoes peeled and diced
  • 12 ounces frozen peas and carrots optional
  • 10.5 ounces cheddar cheese soup
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 ounces Velveeta cheese cubed, optional

Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Add diced onion and garlic; cook until softened. Drain excess grease.
  • Transfer beef mixture to a slow cooker. Add chicken broth, diced potatoes, peas and carrots (if using), and black pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until potatoes are fork-tender.
  • Stir in cheddar cheese soup, heavy cream, and Velveeta. Cover and cook on low for an additional 30 minutes until the soup is creamy and heated through.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

You can skip the Velveeta for a lighter version or mash some potatoes for a thicker consistency. Adjust seasoning to taste.
