I am a big fan of slow cooker soups. They are such a life-saver during the week. I usually dump all the ingredients in the slow cooker insert the night before and keep it in the fridge overnight. I put the insert in the slow cooker first thing in the morning and dinner is done! It’s like magic! This Bacon Cheeseburger Soup has been on repeat at our house. It is so easy to make and always receives rave reviews!
How to Make Bacon Cheeseburger Soup with Velveeta
As I said, this soup is super easy to make. Simply dump all the ingredients in the crockpot and cook. That is it! This soup is super delicious. This is a hearty soup with loaded with hash brown potatoes and lots of cheese, beef, and bacon. This is a thick soup. Feel free to add more chicken broth before serving to get it to your desired consistency.
If you want to reduce the calories in this soup, use ground turkey, turkey bacon, and low-fat Velveeta cheese. I also suggest low-sodium chicken broth to make sure the soup isn’t too salty.
What to Serve with Soup
We both LOVED this soup. It is definitely going to be a staple at our house this Fall and Winter. We like to top the soup with additional bacon, cheese, and some parsley for color. We usually serve the soup with some Fritos and biscuits. Comfort food at its best!

Do you use a cube of velvety or shredded?
Either is fine
Made mine on the stove top added a bit more Worcestershire than called for and used simply hash brown from the dairy. Turned out great! Family loves it.
Can you tell me how you you cooked it on the stove top? Just found Out my crockpot is 4 qts.
Could I add tomatoes to this? Diced tomatoes or rotel maybe?
sure
I’m making this for my work partner and myself for our lunch tonight. Taking liberty and using fresh onion and garlic and adding cream cheese with the velveeta. I like to change things up and prefer fresh ingredients to jarred
Can you make this on high in a shorter period of time?
Absolutely!
Looks like a winner! We all love anything cheese. I may add a few elbow macaroni to this.
Do you put the hash browns in frozen or thaw in fridge?
Are usually just throw the hash browns in the slow cooker frozen
I want to make this in a stove top version. Any ideas?
I made this Saturday, but it didn't turn out like I thought it would the cheese curdled and their was something else that want wrong but cant put my finger on. would love to get a idea f what I could try for next time. Thanks
This soup looks awesome! I'm not a huge fan of velveeta though, do you think I could just use shredded cheddar instead?
Had anyone tried cooking this on high for half the time? Does the velveeta burn?
My family loves this soup! I definitely needed to add additional broth about 20 minutes before serving both times I've made it because it DOES get very thick (almost like a casserole), so anyone wanting to make this should probably make sure they have more broth on hand if they feel the same (I actually had to DOUBLE the amount of broth, and it was still a thick soup). Excellent soup, though! Great recipe!
I'm just sitting down to a bowl of this. This is kick-ass stuff! Love this website. I have pics of the recipes I've tried from here on my Google+ profile page.
Garnish by adding tiny cubes of dill pickle for a real cheesburger flavor.
Just found your cheeseburger soup dish, am making it for supper tonite. Instead of the hash browns i am useing cubed potatoes. It is smelling AWESOMR

I just recently broke a tooth, and have to deal with this fragile temporary crown for the next three weeks. It's only been a few days, but just knowing that I can't eat cheeseburgers for the next month makes me want one so much more. So then I find this — a "cheeseburger" that breaks the rules — and now I MUST make it. I admit I'll probably leave out the bacon (since I don't normally get bacon on my cheeseburgers) and will probably heavily season the ground beef instead.
Thanks for sharing.
This looks great, Steph. I also commented on your sausage skillet but the blogosphere ate my comment.
Sending this recipe to my son in college- he lives in an apartment with 3 other guys. He's going to love it! 🙂 I think we'll make here at home too. 🙂
Hope everyone enjoys it!
Those Hamburger Bun Toasts sound SO GOOD! Definitely will give them a try next time.
Incredible idea! Putting ingredients in the crock pot the night before. And it sounds delicious! And one of the few recipes where I have most of the ingredients on hand! Thanks so much for this recipe!
Love pampered chef

Aren't slow-cooker meals just the greatest?! And this soup looks SO good. I could go for a bowl (or three!) right now. =)
This looks delicious! I'm going to try it soon. Do you know if it can be frozen?

I didn't freeze any of the leftovers, but it should be fine if you do.
do you season the hamburger meat before putting it into the slow cooker?
I just cooked the hamburger meat and dumped it in the slow cooker. I didn't season it separately.
Would love to try this- I love baked Ziti! And this version sounds amazing!
This soup looks so warm and inviting!! Perfect for the cool Fall nights!!
Yum! This looks amazing!
I really want to try a variation of this! Did you use shredded hashbrowns or the little cubey ones?
I used the shredded hash browns. Enjoy!
I’m so excited to make this recipe over the weekend! I couldn’t find the block of Velveeta only the slices. Do you think it will still work? Not sure if I should cut down the cooking time. Thank you so much!
Slices of Velveeta should work fine.
OMG Yum!!!!!!!!!
Sounds delicious. I am going to try it next week. I love soup in the fall.
Me too! Hope you enjoy the soup!!
This looks soooo good. I unfortunately have someone in my household that doesn’t like velvets cheese. Have you tried using anything else ? I don’t know what else you could do to make it creamy like that
Maybe try using shredded cheddar cheese and add some milk to make it creamy? I haven’t tried it myself, but it’s just an idea.
This looks fantastic!!! Do you think you could substitute that Oscar Meyer cooked bacon for the other bacon? I love bacon, but I hate cooking it!
Absolutely! I love to use that precooked bacon – such a time saver.
Mmmm I love that it's soup and Crock Pot season! Pinning…gotta keep this one in mind for busy days!
Soup & Crock Pot season is my favorite! Hope you enjoy the soup!
Oh yum! I am going to have to give this a try! 🙂
Hope you like it Becky!
Stephanie, would eliminating the hash browns affect the outcome? I need to avoid potatoes, no matter how much I love them! Any suggestions for an alternative? BTW, I love your recipes (the low-carb ones particularly although I drool over all of the rest)…recently passed along a bunch of your tailgating recipes to a friend looking for something new for a college football game tailgate 🙂
PMcmil5450 – the potatoes are a big part of this recipe. They break down and thicken up the soup. I am not sure what you could substitute.
Glad to hear you are enjoying the tailgating recipes!
Thanks…I figured they couldn't be left out…but I may have to try it anyway! Forgot to mention…I made your Crack Quiche the other night at it was excellent. Thanks for all the great recipes!
LOVE the Crack Quiche! So glad you did too!
Think this could be done in the instant pot?
I’m sure it could
I would maybe try subbing shredded or cubed cauliflower. It may not work as a thickener, but could definitely help.
I'm thinking dinner for Saturday. Anything bacon and cheese related my boys will eat up. You're amazing!
Thanks! Enjoy!
Guess what I'm making tomorrow?! This looks fantastic!
Enjoy!!
Pinned! Going on our menu plan for next week — can't wait! If I close my eyes and think hard, I can almost smell this cooking!!! Thanks S! 🙂
Hope you enjoy it! I wish I had a bowl for breakfast!! So good!
Mmm, cheesy goodness in a bowl! Love this recipe and I'm thinking my kids would too!
I am sure the whole family will enjoy this soup! It is delicious!
