Crockpot Cheeseburger Macaroni Soup

Print Recipe

A rich and comforting soup that tastes like a cheeseburger, made easily in a crockpot with ground beef, tomatoes, pasta, and cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup elbow macaroni (uncooked)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus extra for serving, if desired)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard or Dijon mustard
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks.
  2. Drain any excess fat, then transfer the cooked beef to the crockpot.
  3. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the crockpot with the beef.
  4. Pour in the beef broth and diced tomatoes (with their juices). Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and mustard until well combined.
  5. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then give everything a good stir.
  6. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the flavors have blended and the onions are very tender.
  7. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the elbow macaroni. Re-cover and cook on HIGH for 20–30 minutes, or until the pasta is just tender.
  8. Turn the crockpot to WARM or LOW, then stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted and the soup is creamy.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Ladle into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For a filling meal, serve with crunchy sides like cheeseburger garlic bread or a crisp salad. Adjust spices to your personal taste.
