Slow Cooker Cheeseburger Soup

Slow Cooker Cheeseburger Soup is a warm, comforting family favorite that we make over and over again. It's a creamy, comforting, hearty soup brimming with hamburger, bacon, cheese, and potatoes.

Cheeseburger-lovers and picky eaters will both rejoice! This one is a fan-favorite, all around. It's simple to fix it and forget it in the slow cooker, and can even be made ahead and frozen!

Top it with all of your favorite cheeseburger toppings to finish the effect, and you'll find yourself with the best warm bowl of cheesy, hearty goodness.

Swaps, Add-ins, and Toppings

• Turkey - Use turkey instead of ground beef if you're a fan of turkey burgers.
• American cheese - Use chopped American cheese from the deli instead of cheddar for an ultra creamy version. Some recipes
• Cheese - Using a sharp cheddar will really bring the cheese flavor forward to highlight the cheeseburger flavor. But you can also experiment with any of your favorite cheese, including smoked gouda, Colby Jack, Monterey Jack, Pepperjack, or whatever your heart desires. I highly recommend grating your own cheese fresh, as it melts the best this way.
• Beans - I love adding beans to recipes to give them an extra protein and fiber boost. You can use canned, cooked (drained and rinsed) beans instead of potatoes or in addition to potatoes.
• Sweet Potatoes - Sweet potatoes can be used in place of Russets to add some more nutrients and color.
• Bacon - Bacon is amazing and definitely goes on cheeseburgers. However, I highly recommend using it as a topping rather than in the actual soup, as it will get soft and mushy if you cook it in the soup. It will stay crispy and flavorful if you add it as a topping at the end.
• Toppings - The sky is the limit! Insert all of your favorite burger toppings here: pickles, bacon, extra cheese, croutons, pickled jalapenos, or green onions are all a great place to start!
• Stovetop - Cooking this stovetop version will be a bit quicker if you are in a hurry!

How to Serve Slow Cooker Cheeseburger Soup

In my opinion, soup and salad is almost always the way to go! Serve this up with a nice, fresh green salad.

The other fun part about soups is the bread for dipping! So add a nice warm crusty bread as an extra side. Or for even more fun, and to play on the cheeseburger theme, dip in some fries, waffle fries, or tater tots.
