Have you ever made Cheeseburger Soup in the slow cooker before? Summer is officially over next week and the chaos of school and sports has begun which means that I’ve already dusted off the Crockpot. That’s right, my Crockpot works over time in the fall when I just don’t have time to make dinner in the late afternoon.
Preparing everything and throwing it in the Crockpot in the morning and having a piping hot meal at dinner is ideal for my busy schedule.
This week I came across this recipe for slow cooker cheeseburger soup and I decided to try it out on the family. It was a HUGE hit. My husband loved it so much that he said, “This soup rivals your Crockpot Cheesy Potato Soup which is super hard to do!”
Wait! What?!?
He almost likes it as much as the potato soup? That means this soup is da bomb, people!
Plus, all three of my kids loved it and pretty much licked the bowls clean. Good thing for you is that the soup is easy to make and easily feeds at least a family of 5 (we had leftovers!).
