Extra Creamy Slow Cooker Cheeseburger Soup

Crafting the Roux: In a clean skillet, melt butter, whisk in flour, cook until golden (2-3 mins), blend in whole milk, season, and refrigerate.

Slow Cooking Bliss: Combine beef, vegetables, and potatoes in a slow cooker. Douse with chicken broth, sprinkle basil and parsley, and cook on high for 3-4 hours until potatoes are tender.

Finishing Touches: Stir in the roux, followed by the Velveeta cubes. A further 30 minutes of cooking, and your soup transforms into a thick, smooth haven of flavors.

Serve hot, garnishing with a generous sprinkle of cheese and a dash of bacon bits. Savor every spoonful of this hearty, soulful delight!
