1️⃣ Brown the Beef & Aromatics
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and diced onion until browned and cooked through (about 5–7 minutes).
- Drain excess grease, then stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
2️⃣ Add Everything to the Slow Cooker
- Transfer the cooked beef mixture to a slow cooker.
- Add diced potatoes, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Stir well, cover, and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
3️⃣ Make It Extra Creamy & Cheesy
- Stir in cheddar cheese soup, whole milk (or half & half), and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Cover and cook on LOW for an additional 20–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is melted and the soup is thick and creamy.
4️⃣ Serve & Garnish
- Ladle the soup into bowls and top with crumbled bacon, extra cheese, green onions, or croutons for a cheeseburger-style experience! ππ₯£
