  • Ground Beef: 1 pound, cooked until brown and fat drained
  • Russet Potatoes: 2, skin removed and cut into chunks
  • Carrots: 1 cup, grated
  • Celery: 1/2 cup, chopped small
  • Onion: 1 white, chopped small
  • Italian Seasoning: 1 tablespoon
  • Garlic: 1 tablespoon, finely chopped
  • Salt: 1 teaspoon

  • Chicken Broth: 3 cups
  • Velveeta Cheese: 16 ounces, cut into small blocks
  • Cream Cheese: 8 ounces, cut into small blocks
  • Bacon: 1/2 cup, broken into bits (for topping)
Step 1:
Start by putting the chunked potatoes with skins removed into the bottom of your slow cooker to form a nice foundation.
Step 2:
Brown your ground beef in a pan on medium heat until fully cooked with no pink showing, then drain off the fat. Dump the meat into your slow cooker.
Step 3:
Scatter the chopped onion, grated carrots, and chopped celery on top of the meat and potato layer.
Step 4:
Toss in the Italian seasoning, chopped garlic, salt, and pepper across the veggies and beef to boost the taste.
Step 5:
Add the chicken broth, making sure it flows over all ingredients for good cooking.
Step 6:
Put the lid on and let it cook on low for 4-6 hours so everything gets tender and the flavors mix well.
Step 7:
When the time's up, toss in the Velveeta and cream cheese chunks. Cover again and cook for 30 more minutes until all cheese melts completely.
Step 8:
Mix everything together really well to get a smooth, creamy soup. Give it a taste and add more seasonings if you want.
Step 9:
Top each serving with bacon bits, chopped pickles, and raw onions if you'd like. Serve it hot and dig in!

Ingredients

01 1 cup shredded carrots.
02 1 white onion, chopped up.
03 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and cubed.
04 1/2 tsp black pepper.
05 1 tbsp chopped garlic.
06 3 cups of chicken broth.
07 16 oz cubed Velveeta cheese.
08 1 pound of browned ground beef.
09 8 oz cubed cream cheese.
10 1/2 cup bacon bits.
11 1 tbsp Italian seasoning mix.
12 1/2 cup diced celery.
13 1 tsp salt.

Instructions

Step 01

Put the diced and peeled potatoes on the bottom layer of your slow cooker.

Step 02

Cook the ground beef in a pan until it's no longer pink. Drain the fat and throw it into the crockpot.

Step 03

Toss the diced onion, chopped celery, and shredded carrots on top of the potatoes.

Step 04

Scatter the Italian seasoning, garlic, salt, and pepper all over the veggies to give them flavor.

Step 05

Add the chicken broth to the crockpot, making sure everything inside gets covered.

Step 06

Set the lid on the crockpot and let it go on low heat for at least 4 hours (up to 6).

Step 07

Drop the cubed cream cheese and Velveeta in during the last half hour of cooking to let them melt.

Step 08

Stir everything up once the cheese is melted and adjust the salt and pepper if needed.

Step 09

Right before you serve, sprinkle on bacon crumbles and, if you like, some chopped pickles or extra onion.

Notes

  1. For extra flair, drop some chopped onions or pickles on top before serving.
  2. Draining fat from the beef before adding it will help keep the soup lighter.
  3. Don’t add the cheese until the end, or it might not melt properly.
