This creamy potato and hamburger soup is a comforting, one-pot meal perfect for chilly evenings, made easily in a slow cooker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (lean 80/20)
  • 4 cups potatoes, diced (Yukon Gold or russet)
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.
  2. Drain any excess fat from the skillet to keep the soup from getting greasy.
  3. Transfer the cooked beef to the crockpot. Add the diced potatoes, chopped onion, beef broth, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir to combine.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours. The potatoes should be fork-tender.
  5. When the potatoes are done, turn the crockpot off or to the warm setting. Stir in the milk, shredded cheddar cheese, and sour cream until the cheese melts and the soup becomes creamy.
  6. Taste and season with salt and pepper to suit your preference. Serve hot.

Notes

For a lighter version, use 90% lean beef or ground turkey. For a dairy-free option, substitute milk with unsweetened oat or almond milk and use plant-based cheese and dairy-free sour cream. For thicker soup, replace part of the milk with half-and-half.
