Ingredients
You’ll need just five core ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 3 cups diced potatoes (peeled or unpeeled)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Optional (but recommended for extra flavor):
- Salt and pepper
- Garlic powder
- 1 cup milk or cream (for extra creaminess)
Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Brown the Ground Beef
Start by heating a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until fully browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
- Drain excess grease to avoid an oily soup
- Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired
This step adds depth of flavor and ensures a better texture in your soup.
Step 2: Prepare the Vegetables
While the beef is cooking:
- Dice the potatoes into small, even cubes (this helps them cook evenly)
- Finely chop the onion
Keeping the pieces small ensures they become tender and blend beautifully into the soup.
Step 3: Load the Slow Cooker
In your slow cooker, combine:
- Cooked ground beef
- Diced potatoes
- Chopped onion
- Beef broth
Give everything a quick stir to distribute the ingredients evenly.
