But I do get a lot of comments asking me if it can be made in the slow cooker. I had to test it our for myself!
Me and my slow cooker are BFF’s.
Especially when it is busy around the holidays.
Who am I kidding. It is always busy.
That is why I love using my slow cooker year round.
It was so nice to just throw all of the veggies and potatoes in this soup right in the slow cooker.
Let it cook all day and have a delicious hearty cheeseburger soup for dinner.

Absolutely delicious recipe! Tysm for sharing it. I used frozen shredded has browns that I had in the freezer. It was perfect 🤩
Excellent recipe. ThankYou for sharing. Used Idahoan instant hash browns and hydrated them before adding to crockpot to cook with other veggies. Super easy comfort food.
