Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lbs lean ground beef (85/15 or 90/10) Use lean ground beef to reduce fat.
  • 1 large onion (diced) Chop evenly for consistent cooking.
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced) Minced garlic enhances flavor.
  • 2 lbs russet potatoes (peeled and cubed into 1/2-inch pieces) Cubed for even cooking.
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 32 oz beef broth
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp salt (or to taste) Adjust seasoning to taste.
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper Adjust seasoning to taste.
  • 8 oz Velveeta cheese (cubed)
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese (freshly shredded)
  • 1 cup heavy cream For a richer flavor, half-and-half can be used.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Transfer the beef mixture to a 6-quart slow cooker. Add the cubed potatoes, shredded carrots, diced celery, beef broth, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
  2. Stir in the cubed Velveeta, shredded cheddar cheese, and heavy cream. Cover and cook on HIGH for another 15-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is creamy.
Serving
  1. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with your favorite cheeseburger toppings like crumbled bacon, pickles, or toasted sesame seeds.

Notes

To store leftovers, let the soup cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It lasts in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days or can be frozen for longer storage. Adjust seasonings to fit your tastes; adding more salt or pepper enhances flavor.
