Cooking Guide:
- Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain any excess grease.
- 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.
- Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, or until the potatoes are tender.
- 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.
- 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!
