CHEESEBURGER SOUP

CHEESEBURGER SOUP

This Cheeseburger Soup is thick, hearty and loaded with ground beef, potatoes, veggies and plenty of cheese! Make it on the stovetop or in the slow cooker.

It is just such an amazing combination, and one that warms you right through when it’s cold outside (though fingers crossed it’s a while before we’re building snowmen!).

But, I’ll be honest — I’m not always the best at planning meals ahead and being prepared and all that.

This comes as a shock even to me, who is an obsessive planner in pretty much every area of life, but just can’t always get my Cheeseburger Soup in the slow cooker in the morning.

For that reason, here we are with a simple stovetop Cheeseburger Soup — a meal that comes together in about 30 minutes, provided you aren’t chopping vegetables with a toddler on your hip.

Enjoy!

How to make Cheeseburger Soup:

  1. Brown your ground beef and onions in a large dutch oven or soup pot.
  2. Add your spices — adding dried spices to a hot dry pan helps to liven up the flavor after being stored for so long.
  3. Add your vegetables and broth, cover and simmer until tender.
  4. Add your dairy at the end so it doesn’t curdle — cream and corn starch to make it thick and creamy, and cheese for that awesome cheeseburger flavor.
  5. Top it — choose your favorite cheeseburger toppings or add shredded cheese and green onions.

How to make Crockpot Cheeseburger Soup:

You will need to brown your ground beef before adding it to the slow cooker, but then everything except for the dairy and thickeners can technically just be thrown in and cooked until down — I would give it about 8 hours on low.

Ways to lighten up this soup recipe:

  • If you need to, you can swap the potatoes for cauliflower
  • Substitute regular cheese for low fat cheese
  • Add in extra veggies of your choosing
  • Use extra lean ground beef or even ground turkey (though there isn’t a big difference in calories between the two)
  • Use low fat milk

5 smart hacks at home that you should try on your next schedule for general cleaning!

5 smart hacks at home that you should try on your next schedule for general cleaning!
  1. Packing tape as a duster.
It’s easy to ignore lampshades, speakers, and the insides of drawers because it's tough to get them clean with regular dusting. With its strong adhesive, packing tape is the answer—it grabs dirt from fabric and crevices.
Press a foot-long stretch of tape onto the surface, then pull it back to pick up the grime. To get crumbs out of drawers, ball up the tape, leaving much of the sticky side facing out. Tap the ball onto the debris, applying extra pressure to catch stubborn pieces.
  1. Polymer-based car wax to prevent toilet-bowl stains.
Clean the toilet to remove existing stains, then back the water out. Shut off the water valve by turning it all the way to the right; flush the toilet, holding down the handle until most of the water flows from the tank; and pour a bucket of water into the bowl. Dry the interior with a cotton cloth, and use a separate cloth to apply the protectant. Make sure to open a window for ventilation. Let sit for 10 minutes, then replenish the water by turning the valve left to open. For upkeep, every three months pour ½ cup distilled white vinegar into the bowl to prevent water rings from forming.
  1. Clean marks on upholstery with shaving cream.
Shaving cream, is essentially a whipped soap, and an ideal substitute. Its lather can penetrate nearly any stain and lift it to the surface. (Test first in an inconspicuous place.)
Apply a small dollop to a damp cloth. (Use a standard white shaving cream as much as possible) Dab this onto the spot and let sit for 20-30 mins, blot with a clean, then damp cloth. If any stain remains, reapply and let sit overnight.
  1. Get rid of crayon marks on your walls with toothpaste.
Cleaning sprays can discolor walls. Yes? But a white, non-gel toothpaste that contains baking soda acts as a fine abrasive to rub away wax without leaving a tint.
Apply with a clean toothbrush, scrub gently, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
 
  1. Clean your mattress with a spritz of vodka.
Mattress upkeep is often overlooked, even though pros suggest quarterly cleanings we all don’t really follow that rule. Or is it just me? Lol.. Vodka is an odorless disinfectant that evaporates fast, so you’ll never have to do a deep cleaning.
Using a vodka-filled spray bottle, spritz the mattress and pillows when changing the sheets and wave goodbye to those that is not visible in our eyes who savagely bite our backs at their convenience.

Why am I so tired all the time, even after a full night's sleep?

Why am I so tired all the time, even after a full night's sleep?

While it's common to feel dead tired during the day, persistent symptoms of daytime drowsiness could be linked to your sleep and health habits.

Diet and exercise can go a long way towards getting better rest at night and being more alert during the day. Balancing healthy eating choices with routine exercise can dramatically affect the way you perform throughout the day.

Try this tips that helped me cope up with my restlessness that lasted for a couple of months.

Eat more green and healthy food! You don’t really have to go vegan. Well, if you could the better. Being watchful with your diet will help naturally boost your daily energy level.

Exercise. It is recommended to exercise especially with the lifestyle we have in this age. It can be a routine exercise you got somewhere in the internet or you can just come up with your own routine. Exercise breeds energy. It is recommended that you exercise at least 30-40 minutes a day, 4 days or stretch it to 5 days a week if you can.

Aside from the energy boost, it also releases endorphins which will leave you simply "feeling good" about yourself.

Avoid fatty and processed food. These foods may fill your tummy up but they're not loaded with the vitamins and nutrients your body needs to produce the right amount of energy.

Keep your room dark and quiet. There have been studies that sleeping with lights on isn’t good for you. It makes your mind think and wonder when you’re supposed to be sleeping. If this is not possible, leave one dim light on or use a nightlight.

Ditch those electronics and gadgets. Well, no further explanation is needed for this. This may be the simplest yet hardest habit to break. It has been our habit to scroll down on our social media feeds while waiting for our sleep to come. Which is not going to happen until you realize it’s already way past your bed time. This habit tricks your brain into believing it needs to stay awake because it associates light with daytime. This deception can disrupt your circadian rhythm, which in turn leads to poorer sleep at night and feeling rundown during the day.

We need to find a way to get not just the quantity of sleep you need, but also good quality sleep you deserve! We all deserve!
