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.

Menu Planning Note: You can also find this recipe in our Slow Cooker Menu Planning Made Easy Set!

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!
