Equipment

  • skillet or multicooker
  • Slow Cooker

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/4 cup flour regular or gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 2 teaspoons burger seasoning
  • 8 oz shredded Colby jack cheese
  • 2 oz cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup half and half
  • 1 package frozen tater tots crowns or regular

Instructions

  • Cook ground beef until no longer pink
  • Drain excess grease as needed and add to slow cooker
  • Mix flour with 1/4 cup of broth until smooth and add to slow cooker
  • Add remaining broth along with diced carrots and celery, seasoning, cheese, cream cheese, and half and half
  • Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 hours
  • Stir to combine well until cheeses are smooth
  • Cook tater tots according to package directions
  • Top soup with additional cheese and tater tots if desired

Notes

  • Store in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat over the stove or in the microwave.
  • To prep ingredients ahead for the freezer, brown and cool the ground beef. Add it to a freezer bag or freezer-safe container with the remaining ingredients. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months and thaw before cooking.
  • For a stovetop version of this recipe, brown the meat as directed and add the diced carrots and celery into the skillet to soften. Add all ingredients to a large pot and cook on medium heat until all cheeses are smoothly melted. Stir to combine and serve immediately.
  • Shredding cheese from the block instead of using pre-shredded will yield the best results.
  • Nutrition info is calculated without tater tots or toppings.
