- 1 ½ lbs lean ground beef
- ½ white onion, diced
- 2 tsp garlic, minced
- 1 can diced tomatoes (undrained)
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp pickle relish
- 3 cups beef broth

- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
How To Make Cheesy Burger Flavored Soup:
Step 1: Brown the Meat and Hash Browns: In a large skillet, brown the 1 1/2 pounds ground beef and 8 oz frozen hash browns. Drain off any excess grease.
Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics: Add the 2 tsp minced garlic to the skillet with the meat and hash browns and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 3: Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker: Transfer the meat and hash brown mixture to the slow cooker. Add the 1/2 diced white onion, diced tomatoes (with juice), 2 tsp mustard, 2 tbsp pickle relish, 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 3 cups beef broth, and salt and pepper to taste.
Step 4: Cook: Cover and cook on HIGH for 3 hours or LOW for 6 hours.
Step 5: Finish the Soup: Uncover the slow cooker and stir in the 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese and 1 cup heavy cream. Cover and cook for an additional hour to allow the cheese to melt and the soup to thicken.
Step 6: Serve: Stir in the 8 oz crumbled bacon just before serving.
