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 🙂

This did not work for us. It had no flavor except when I added the pickles. I made the vegetarian option (bc I keep kosher, so bacon is a no no), and it just tasted wrong. I am wondering if my prepping everything the night before and storing everything (veggie crumbles, onions, veggie bacon, and veggies) together in a Ziploc had anything to do with it. Maybe the flavors just melded together in that bag and then there was nothing left after cooking it. I will try it again and if I prep it before, store the ingredients separately.
How does this soup do leftover? I was thinking about making it a day before I needed to take it to a party. Is it not as good the next day?
I think it tastes even better the next day 🙂
LOVE LOVE LOVE this! I’ve done both the regular (non vegetarian version) and vegetarian version and they came out wonderful each time.
My only additions is sometimes, a little splash of pickle juice and powdered mustard. Otherwise, it is perfect as it is.
It’s become our hardy, go to dinner. Also, leftovers are awesome!
In the crock pot now and the house smells delish!!! I had to use ketchup instead of tomatoes though. Hope it does not mess up the taste. Also the cream cheese is still lumpy. Guess I thought it would incorporate into the soup. We’ll see how it turns out.
Just give the soup a stir towards the end Linda and the cream cheese should incorporate in. I’ve never substituted ketchup for tomatoes, but I’m sure it will be just fine. Let us know how it tastes!
Verdict: AMAZING!!!! WOW! I served the girls and the phone rang so I was away five minutes. When I turned around youngest DD was at my elbow. Figures, since I was on the phone, right? But, no, she was asking for MORE! Oldest had also inhaled hers. Husband had a couple bowls too. He said this can’t be healthy. But I tried to healthify it with ground turkey and turkey bacon and low fat cheeses. Well, maybe I was a little generous with the cheese. 🙂 A HIT in our family and sure to show up again on the menu! The girls were even making noises about serving fries on the side.
Haha! Love this Linda! Thank you so much for taking the time to come back and share 🙂 Tell the girls that is a AWESOME idea to serve with fries on the side!
My cream cheese didn’t melt too well, stayed chunky, even after I stirred it around.
