Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cups potatoes, diced into small cubes
  • 1 cup carrots, grated or diced
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 4 cups chicken broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 2 cups milk (whole milk or substitute)
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 3 tbsp flour
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Dice the potatoes, celery, and onion, and grate the carrots. Set them aside.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up as it browns, for about 5-7 minutes or until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter and sauté the onion, celery, and carrots for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  4. Transfer the cooked beef and sautéed vegetables to your Crockpot.
  5. Add the diced potatoes, chicken broth, and Worcestershire sauce to the Crockpot. Stir to combine.
  6. Set the Crockpot to low and cook for 6-7 hours, or high for 3-4 hours, until the vegetables are tender.
  7. About 30 minutes before serving, melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of flour and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  8. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
  9. Stir the milk mixture into the Crockpot. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and cream cheese, stirring until melted and fully incorporated.
  10. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Let it cook on low for an additional 15 minutes.
  11. Serve hot, topped with your favorite garnishes like crispy bacon, diced pickles, or shredded lettuce.
