In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and onion, crumbling the beef while cooking. Cook until the beef is no longer pink and the onion is softened, about 8-10 minutes. Discard excess grease.
Stir in the garlic; cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. (If using jarred garlic, add it directly into the slow cooker instead.)
Transfer the beef mixture to an 8 quart slow cooker. Add the chicken broth, potatoes, frozen peas and carrots, cheese soup, and pepper; stir.
Cover the slow cooker. Cook on Low for 7-8 hours or on High for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
About 1 hour before serving, add the heavy cream and the Velveeta cheese. Cover. Allow the cheese to melt; stir until fully combined and creamy.
Serve.
6-8 servings.
