Ingredients:
1/2 white onion, diced
2 teaspoons garlic, freshly minced
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes (do not drain)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
2 tablespoons pickle relish
3 cups beef broth
2 teaspoons yellow mustard
8 ounces bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup heavy cream
8 ounces frozen Southern-style hash browns
1 1/2 cups Cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

Cook the Beef and Vegetables:

In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the ground beef with the frozen hash browns and diced onion until the beef is browned and cooked through.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Remove from heat.

Transfer to Slow Cooker:

Spoon the cooked beef mixture into your slow cooker.
Add the diced tomatoes (with juice), mustard, pickle relish, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine.
Season with salt and pepper, then stir again.
Pour in the beef broth and stir once more.
Cook:

Cover the slow cooker and set it to high for 3 hours, or low for 6 hours.

Add Cheese and Cream:

After the initial cooking time, remove the lid and stir in the shredded Cheddar cheese and heavy cream.
Replace the lid and continue cooking on high for an additional hour.

Finish and Serve:

Stir in the crumbled bacon just before serving.
Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy this cheesy, burger-inspired comfort food!

Tips:
For a thicker soup, reduce the broth by 1/2 cup or add a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water) during the final hour.
Feel free to garnish with chopped green onions, additional shredded cheese, or even croutons for extra texture.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.

Enjoy this rich, hearty, and delicious Slow Cooker Cheesy Burger Soup, a guaranteed crowd-pleaser for any occasion!

I read Mariela’s message three times, sitting on the edge of the bed in my hotel suite, with my hospital gown folded over a chair and my pre-op test results spread across the table. “You’re about to find out exactly what you signed.” That didn’t sound like a desperate sister. It sounded like someone who ... Read more

My husband drugged me every night “so I could study better,” but one night I faked swallowing the pill and stayed motionless. He thought I was asleep. At 2:47 AM, he came in with gloves, a camera, and a black notebook. He didn’t touch me with love. He lifted my eyelid and whispered: “The memory still hasn’t returned.”

Marcus froze in front of the screen. For the first time since I’d known him, he didn’t look like a doctor, or a husband, or a man in control of everything. He looked like a child caught with blood on his hands. “Turn that off,” Eleanor said. Her voice no longer sounded elegant. It sounded ... Read more

My mother slapped my son over a toy, and the whole family pretended not to see the blood. I didn’t say anything; I carried him to the hospital… and when I returned with the report in my hand, even the favorite grandson stopped smiling.

On my very first day at my new job, I saw a photo of my husband sitting on my coworker’s desk. I forced a smile, pointed at it, and calmly asked, “Who’s that?” She lit up and said, “That’s the man I’m going to marry.” For a moment, I forgot where I was. The office ... Read more

At 1:17 in the morning, my phone lit up. I had just gotten out of the shower. My hair was still wet, the ends dripping onto the old t-shirt I wore to sleep. A red notification dot appeared on Instagram. It was a post from Adrian Shaw. My boyfriend. Or so I thought until that ... Read more
