Crock Pot Cheeseburger Soup

cheeseburger soup

I have an obsession with all things cheeseburger. It’s a problem sometimes when it causes me to wake up at 3 am and seriously consider traveling somewhere to get one… And I’m always dreaming up ways to create dishes that taste like cheeseburgers…things like Cheeseburger Pizza and Cheeseburger Meatloaf,or the Pioneer Woman’s Cheeseburger Salad. And of course, this amazingly delicious Crock Pot Cheeseburger Soup.

This is a great soup to make on a cold day – or a day that you’re going to be gone for a while. Or a cold day where you’ll be gone for a while. Hmm, now that I think of it, it’s great any day.  You just throw your veggies in the crock and let them cook until tender. Later, you come back and add the cheese… can’t forget the cheese. That would be against my religion. Amen.

Just an FYI – whenever I make Crock Pot Cheeseburger Soup, I usually prep the ingredients the night before, while I’m making dinner. I chop the potatoes and cover them with water then place in the fridge…and I brown the hamburger and put it in there too – then I can just throw everything together in the crock the next morning.

    I have made a soup like this without the milk, flour and cheese with a package of mixed veggies and some steak sauce (like A1) to season it. I call it either steak house soup or just hamburger soup. (More beef broth to replace the milk, of course.) It is gooood. This sounds good for my cheese loving family to switch things up.

    Is the oregano dried leaf or ground? If you’re calling for dried and I use ground, I’ll have an over-oregano’d catastrophe. If you’re calling for ground and I use dried, there’ll be no oregano flavor! (Or, GASP, is it fresh!?) Come on, ‘fess up, woman! I need to know so I can make this delicious sounding cheeseburger soup.

    This sounds yummy! Looking forward to trying it. I do have 1 question. I typically no longer use flour for thickening simply because in some recipes, the flour tends to make it taste ‘pastey’. I use corn starch. Do you think this will thicken ok using the appropriate water to cornstarch mixture?

    • Stacy says

      December 8, 2015 at 11:50 am

      Usually you need a bit more flour than cornstarch, so I would cut back the cornstarch a tad and see if it gets thick enough…if not, you can always add more! 🙂

    Love your blog! The recipes look so good. I tried this one tonight with just a little bit of change. I used a combo of hamburger and ground turkey and I used my home canned stewed tomatoes. The biggest change I made though was putting it in my pressure cooker instead of the slow cooker. It turned out great. I can’t remember the last time I used my slow cooker. Thanks for the great recipes!

    I was thinking instead of the diced tomatoes, because I’m not a big fan of tomatoes, to add some tomato paste and a bit of mustard mixed to give it that cheeseburger taste! I’ve made cheeseburger meatloaf and the topping was a mixture of ketchup and mustard and it was that little perfect finishing touch! I cannot wait to make this!

    Wow, this was great! Just made it and kind of butchered your recipe by forgetting diced tomatoes at the store and throwing in tomato paste instead, ate my pepper before I remembered I needed it for this recipe and threw in corn instead, forgot to brown the beef first so I just threw it into the pot with everything else….I was a mess. 🙂 But it still turned out really well, which means this recipe is going into my rotation. If I can screw it up and still make it taste good AND it uses real ingredients, it’s a winner!

    I just wanted to let others know that this is fantastic with sweet potatoes in place of the regular white potatoes. It tastes great and has the benefits of added nutrition. It also makes a wonderful freezer meal since uncooked sweet potatoes don’t turn brown when frozen like regular potatoes. Also, if you have picky kids sweet potatoes are virtually undetectable when mashed in the bowl before giving to the kiddo since they are the same color as the cheese 🙂 I love love love this soup!

      I know people say it works as a good thickener, but I just haven’t had any luck with it. 🙁 You could try it and see. Or just leave it out. Or try a smaller amount of arrowroot – maybe a tablespoon or two?

      King Arthur makes the best gluten free flour that I use when making a cheese sauce, turns out just like the wheat version. I prefer using it instead because the texture isn’t quite the same with cornstarch.

    Ok, I have my same “tired” resolution for cutting calories. May be a dumb question, but is this a high calorie meal? I hate ground turkey, so I know I won’t use that. Any other suggestions for cutting calories if it is highly caloric? TRUTH: Even if you don’t, I’m still making this because it looks yummy! Smile. Thank you

      The only thing in here heavy on calories would be the meat and cheese…thus CHEESEBURGER. If you don’t want to use beef or turkey, you could use ground chicken, ground venison, etc. You could also use a different type of cheese or cut back on the amount of cheese. That would be about all I could think of that might do it.
