Ingredients
Scale
1 lb ground beef (85/15 or 90/10 recommended)
6 slices bacon (chopped)
1 medium onion (diced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1.5 lbs Russet potatoes (peeled and cubed)
4 cups beef broth (low-sodium)
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
1/4 tsp black pepper
8 oz cream cheese (cubed and softened)
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese (freshly shredded)
1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and chopped bacon until the beef is browned and the bacon is crispy. Drain off excess grease.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
Transfer the beef mixture to a 6-quart slow cooker. Add the cubed potatoes, beef broth, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Stir in the softened, cubed cream cheese until it has completely melted into the soup. Gradually stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until smooth.
Stir in the heavy cream and allow the soup to heat through for another 10-15 minutes. Serve hot with your favorite cheeseburger toppings.
