Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef

4 medium potatoes, diced (about 4 cups)

1 medium onion, chopped

3 carrots, sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups beef broth

1 cup milk (or heavy cream for extra creaminess)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 tsp dried thyme

1 tsp paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tbsp olive oil

Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Brown the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain excess grease if necessary.

    Sauté Vegetables: Add the chopped onion, sliced carrots, and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes until the onions are translucent.

      Combine in Crockpot: Transfer the browned beef mixture into the crockpot. Add the diced potatoes, beef broth, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

        Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes and carrots are tender.

          Make it Creamy: About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the milk and shredded cheddar cheese. Allow it to cook for the remaining time, stirring occasionally.

            Serve: Once the soup is creamy and heated through, ladle it into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy warm!
