Рецепт Slow Cooker Cheeseburger Soup
Slow Cooker Cheeseburger SoupThis beef and cheese soup is comforting and hearty. Easy to make in the slow cooker.
I really felt like eating this the past few days, however, lots of the recipes I found either I didn't have the ingredients to make it, or thought some of them were downright weird for this type of soup.
My pantry and freezer were filled with similar ingredients so I thought I'd try it out--and that it just may be an improvement over the standard recipe.
Back last winter I took advantage of a huge sale a local store was having on every variety of canned soup--not just the usual tomato, cream of chicken/mushroom, etc. Every variety was discounted, so I bought some of other varieties that I'd have to pay full price for ordinarily. I picked up about 4 cans of cheddar cheese soup because it's very useful to have on hand for anything quickie cheese--such as a sauce.
A hearty and delicious soup that's a dinnerMost recipes I found used cream of chicken--I found this totally weird for a beef-based soup. I'm not saying it would taste bad; it's just weird is all.
I also didn't have frozen shredded hash browns, and I wasn't going out to buy them either. But I did have half a bag of tater tots. Now I think this is an improvement over the standard hash browns because tater tots have some onion and a very savory flavor, so they'd season the soup. I also added a bit of extra onion--the instant kind--because I pretty much like a lot of onion in anything with ground beef. You can leave it out if it's not your dish of tea.
I'd thought about adding bacon, but didn't. I reserved that as a topping. Those that want it can add it and those who don't like it (is there anybody that doesn't like bacon??? But I imagine there are LOL) don't have to have it.
This one is a meal, so maybe a crusty roll and a green salad is all you need to complete the meal.
