In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain excess grease and transfer the beef to the crock pot.
Dice the yellow onion, peel and dice the russet potatoes, slice the carrots and celery stalks, and mince the garlic cloves. Add all the chopped vegetables and garlic to the crock pot.
Pour in the chicken broth and add Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6 hours or until the potatoes and vegetables are tender.
In the last 30 minutes of cooking, make a roux. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, then whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden. Slowly whisk in the whole milk, ensuring there are no lumps, and continue cooking until the mixture thickens.
Stir the roux into the crock pot along with the shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Mix well until the cheese melts and the chowder becomes creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and enjoy your Cheeseburger Chowder!
