½ tsp smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1½ cups heavy cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tbsp all-purpose flour (optional, for thickening)
Chopped green onions or parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Brown the Beef
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned. Drain excess grease and transfer the beef to the crockpot.

About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese. For a thicker soup, mix flour with a little water to form a slurry and stir it in.
