Skinny Slow Cooker Cheeseburger Soup

Ya’ll, I’m loving this Skinny Cheeseburger Soup! It’s perfect for any evening, just pop the ingredients in the slow cooker and you’ll have dinner ready in no time.

I really didn’t expect to like this recipe all that much (give me chicken over beef any day), but this was really just delicious. I tweaked it a bit using what I had in my pantry, and was oh-so-pleased with the results.

You could easily substitute regular cheddar cheese if that’s what you have in the pantry, but I did purchase the (expensive!) fat free cheese to keep the calories down. Let me know what you think if you try it out for dinner too!

This recipe was delicious. It was easy to prepare and was even better warmed up the next day for lunch! – Jennifer

This was so easy and delicious! I did add one russet potato diced. I made this in the Dutch oven instead of the crockpot. I cooked it for 45 minutes in the oven after it came up to a simmer. I will definitely make this again. – Katrina L.
