Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups beef broth
2 cups diced potatoes (about 2 medium potatoes)
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 teaspoon mustard
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil (for browning the beef)
Chopped green onions, for garnish (optional)
Crispy bacon bits, for garnish (optional)
Directions:
Brown the Ground Beef:
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic. Cook until the beef is browned and the onions are softened. Drain any excess fat.
Add to Slow Cooker:
Transfer the browned beef mixture to your slow cooker. Add the beef broth, diced potatoes, frozen corn, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
Cook in the Slow Cooker:
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the potatoes are tender and the flavors have melded together.
Add the Cheese:
About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese. Let them melt into the soup, stirring occasionally.
Finish with Sour Cream:
Just before serving, stir in the sour cream to add extra creaminess. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Serve:
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions and crispy bacon bits if desired.
