Cooking Guide:

1. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain any excess grease.
2. In your crockpot, combine the browned ground beef, diced potatoes, chopped onion, shredded carrots, beef broth, cream of mushroom soup, dried garlic, and Italian seasoning. Stir well to combine.
3. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, or until the potatoes are tender.
4. Once the cooking time is complete, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese. Cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and smooth.
5. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.

Tips:

• For a thicker soup, you can mash some of the cooked potatoes in the crockpot before adding the cheese.
• If you prefer a richer soup, you can use heavy cream instead of milk.
• To make this recipe vegetarian, simply omit the ground beef and add an extra cup of vegetable broth.
• You can add other vegetables to this soup, such as chopped celery or green beans.
• Serve the soup hot with your favorite toppings, such as diced pickles, ketchup, mustard, or shredded cheddar cheese.

Enjoy!
