Step-by-Step Guide to Making Slow Cooker Cheesy Burger Flavored  Soup :

Step 1: Brown the Ground Beef and Sauté Vegetables

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, frozen Southern-style hash browns, and diced onion. Cook until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain any excess fat.

“Browning the beef first helps lock in the flavor and ensures that the hash browns and onions are well integrated.”

Step 2: Add Garlic

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat.

Step 3: Transfer to Slow Cooker

Spoon the beef mixture into the slow cooker. Add the diced tomatoes with juice, yellow mustard, pickle relish, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine and season with salt and pepper.

Step 4: Add Broth and Cook

Pour the beef broth over the mixture. Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours.

“The long, slow cooking process allows the flavors to meld and develop into a deliciously rich broth.”

Step 5: Add Cheese and Cream

After the initial cooking time, remove the lid and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and heavy cream. Replace the lid and cook for an additional hour.

Step 6: Add Bacon and Serve

Just before serving, stir in the cooked and crumbled bacon. Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy it warm.

Frequently Asked Questions :

Q: Can I use a different type of cheese?
A: Absolutely! While cheddar cheese gives that classic burger flavor, you can use gouda, Monterey Jack, or a mix of cheeses for a different twist.

Q: Can I make this soup ahead of time?
A: Yes, this soup stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat it gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, stirring occasionally.
