This Crockpot Creamy Potato and Hamburger Soup is a cozy, cheesy, and hearty meal perfect for busy nights. With ground beef, potatoes, and a creamy, flavorful broth, it's a family favorite that’s both simple and satisfying.
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.
