Very good. I too combined all in a crock pot & let sit. The hamburger didn't separate well enough, should have browned first. I seem to have that problem when I use extra lean beef. I used a whole bell pepper, chopped instead of the diced peppers. Instead of the refrigerated potatoes, I used the sliced au gratin potatoes (without the sauce). Added sliced onions & additional pepper jack cheese. I was even asked for seconds!

Very easy to make, I only had the Southwestern Pepper Jack Cheese soup, but it turned out great! Will make this again for sure Thanks for the recipe!

My family loved this too which I was not expecting as it did not *look* very appetising. I did not have any cheese soup so I used cream of mushroom & added lots of grated cheddar cheese. I did not have time to combine all the ingredients first or to brown off the the beef, I just dumped it all straight in the crockpot in the morning & came home to the smell of a homecooked meal. I will certainly be making this again, thank you for taking the time to share it.
