Quick and Easy Crockpot Bean Goulash Recipe
Has it been another one of those long, long days? Your 5 year old smashed a butterfly and rubbed in on his sister just to hear her scream. Your 4 year old dumped her chocolate milk all over the computer keyboard. Your 6 year old tried to see if his pet mouse would fit in the DVD player and your 7 year old just got off the phone with 911 asking them to send ambulance because he scraped his knee.
You collapse into a chair with a glazed look on your face where you husband later finds you mumbling to yourself, “Thank goodness I put dinner in the crock pot. Thank goodness….” We all have had those kinds of days.
Here is a really quick and easy crockpot recipe from our Dining on a Dime Cookbook for the next time you find yourself having a rough day!
Crockpot Bean Goulash Recipe
1/2 lb. ground beef
1/2 lb. bacon
1 stalk celery
1 small onion
1 (15 oz.) can kidney beans or 2 cups cooked beans
1 (15 oz.) can butter beans
1 (15 oz.) can pork and beans
1 Tbsp. vinegar
1/2 cup barbecue sauce or ketchup
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
Brown ground beef, bacon, celery and onion. If using canned beans, drain them. Mix the remaining ingredients together with the beef mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or put in the crockpot on low for 1-2 hours. Serves 8-10.

That recipe sounds so good and comforting. It’s suppose to start getting cooler around here in temperature so that recipe would be so warm and soothing. The temperature at night is suppose to go to the the 30’s.
This was a terrific dish that went over very well with my children. I served this over rice with sprinkled parsley.
Love any recipe with beans, tastes even better the day after…
This looks like a tasty, simple dish; especially good for when there is a can goods sale going on
We love this recipe! The other night I had just a “dab” left. The husband and I were hungry for cheese dip, so we melted some cheese spread, added this, and served it with a bag of Dollar Store tortilla chips and called it supper. It was really good!
I realize no one has commented on his in ages but I just wanted to say that I discovered this recipe in 2018 and it is delicious!! I use the Truvia Brown Sugar Belnd to cut down on some of the sugar in this but otherwise I make it just as suggested and my family LOVES it. <3
Joelle this is one of our best recipes I think and it is so very easy to make. Thank you for commenting on it
Will it still taste good if you leave out the bacon?
Yes it will.
