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

August 23, 2016 at 1:51 pmWe 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!

April 15, 2018 at 6:44 pmI 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
