Equipment

  • Slow cooker (Crockpot)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet; drain any excess fat and transfer the cooked beef to your slow cooker.
  2. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, diced potatoes, carrots, celery, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, dried mustard, salt, and pepper to the slow cooker with the beef.
  3. Stir all ingredients well to combine, then cover the slow cooker with its lid.
Cooking
  1. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the potatoes and vegetables are tender.
  2. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the milk, softened cream cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese until melted and thoroughly combined.
  3. Continue cooking for the remaining 30 minutes, or until the soup is heated through and creamy.
Serving
  1. Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve immediately.
  2. Garnish with optional toppings such as crumbled bacon and sliced green onions.

Notes

For an even creamier soup, you can use heavy cream instead of milk. Adjust seasoning to taste after adding the cheese. This soup reheats well and is great for meal prepping.
