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!

You listed the Weight Watchers points, but do you happen to know what the calories/fat etc were?
Sounds delish! Might make it tomorrow 🙂
I don’t know what the calories are Sarah, but here’s where I adapted the recipe from – you might be able to use a calorie calculator online to figure up the calories?

According to fitness pal app, 207 calories per 1 cup.
Thanks for the update Angie!
I have also joined WW online, as well as subscribed to emeals for the WW plan. There are some really good recipes in the emeals for WW! I finally convinced my husband to join me on the WW plan, and he loves the recipes, too.
I’m going to keep trying them out Shelley too – I was very pleased with this one!
