Is there anything better than a big juicy bacon cheeseburger? Your mouth just started watering a little bit…..didn’t it?
This soup delivers that same mouth watering taste, but in the form of an easy peasy crockpot recipe. Luckily for my vegetarian hubby, this Crockpot Bacon Cheeseburger Soup can easily be made vegetarian using soy crumbles.
Crockpot Bacon Cheeseburger Soup
- Start by cooking onions and browning your beef together, until meat is no longer pink.
- Next combine all ingredients EXCEPT for the shredded cheddar cheese, milk and flour.
- It helps to hire an extra cute helper for this 🙂
- Stir to combine ingredients. Cover and cook on LOW for 7 hours.
- When 10 minutes are left, you are going to add a thickener and your cheese. To make the thickener, combine milk and flour. Whisk until all clumps are gone.
- Uncover crockpot and stir in shredded cheese and milk/flour mixture. Cover and cook for the remaining 10 minutes, until cheese is melted.
- I served our soup with chopped up dill pickles to add that cheeseburger feel 🙂

A trick learned long ago making cheese fondues. Do not mix the flour with the milk/wine/etc liquid if you are adding cheese. Mix it with the cheese. The cheese’s tacky surface will pick up the flour in a very thin non-clumping coat. And when it is melted, it mixes perfectly.

I would like help converting this to an Instant Pot recipe. Could you help, please?
Doreen says
So so good!!! We will be making this again. I added some frozen butternut squash & instead of making a rue with milk & flour I just added some instant potatoes to it! We also did not add the cheese in we just topped our individual bowls with it and it was perfect!!
