1 lb ground beef (or turkey)
1 cup diced onions
1 cup diced bell peppers
4 cups beef broth
2 cups diced potatoes
1 cup shredded cheese
1 cup heavy cream (or milk)
3 tbsp ketchup
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Brown the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef or turkey until fully cooked. Drain excess fat and transfer to the slow cooker.
Add Vegetables: Add diced onions, bell peppers, and potatoes into the slow cooker along with the cooked meat.
Combine Liquids: Pour in 4 cups of beef broth. Then, add the ketchup, garlic powder, and season with salt and pepper. Stir everything together, ensuring it’s well mixed.
Set It and Forget It: Cover your slow cooker and set it on low for 6-8 hours. You can set it on high for 3-4 hours if you’re in a hurry.
Final Touches: Once cooked, stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheese until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with additional cheese, crispy bacon, or fresh herbs for garnish!
