A cozy, creamy soup that captures the best flavors of a cheeseburger with juicy beef, sharp cheddar, and tangy pickles, all slow-cooked to perfection for an easy and comforting meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 preferred)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 4 cups beef broth (low sodium recommended)
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup chopped dill pickles
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and minced garlic, sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  3. Sprinkle all-purpose flour over the beef mixture. Stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove raw flour taste.
  4. Transfer the beef and onion mixture to the slow cooker. Add diced potatoes, beef broth, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours, or until potatoes are tender.
  6. About 15 minutes before serving, stir in milk, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped dill pickles. Cover and cook until cheese is melted and soup is creamy.
  7. Stir the soup well and taste for seasoning. Adjust salt, pepper, or mustard as desired. If too thick, add a splash of milk or broth to reach desired consistency.

Notes

Brown the beef and onions first for deeper flavor. Use russet potatoes for best texture. Add cheese at the end to prevent clumping. Season after cooking as slow cookers mellow flavors. For dairy-free, substitute milk and cheese with plant-based alternatives. For gluten-free, use gluten-free flour and broth.
