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 Volume 1 of our Dining on a Dime Cookbook for the next time you find yourself having a rough day!

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
It sounds like it would be sweet with the added sugars.
It isn’t. When you make bar b q sauce you add quite a bit of brown sugar to a lot of recipes that is why people love those bbq sauces so much well what makes this recipe so good it has a bbq type flavor (that is why people love it so much) but instead of saying add double the bbq sauce you add all the ingredients that make up the bbq sauce. Plus if you think about it there is probably 16 or more servings in this recipe so you are only getting about 2 tsp. (tsp not Tbsp.) of sugar per serving. Many use that much or more in a bowl of cereal, cup of tea or oatmeal in the morning. What I suggest is make the recipe exactly as it is and if it is too sweet then next time you can add less.
I am used to not adding sugar to most of what I eat but I will give it a try as is.
Will it still taste good if you leave out the bacon?
Yes it will.
Can this recipe be canned into pint jars (then pressured canned for 45 minutes)?
This would be great in my pantry.
Julia I am really not sure because I have never tried it.
Jill and Tawra, Thank you!
Oh Alison you are welcome and we appreciate you taking the time to let tell us.
This recipe sounds good, I will have to wait till I have company before I make it. Had a fairly nice day, met a friend for lunch. we*re getting together to peel her apples, she turns around and makes pies with them, so their ready when she wants them. The apples are medium size and nice tasting . Hope you had a nice day !!
This is the recipe we used, except it was named Calico Beans, as part of our wedding meal. (We purchased and prepared the food for our wedding so we would stay within our budget.) Seeing this recipe brought back very good memories of preparing the food with my mom, aunts, SIL, and cousins the day before. Over 30 years later, I still prepare and enjoy this dish.
Very good, but we found it to be much too sweet. Next time I’ll try cutting the sugar amount in half and see how it tastes before adding more.
LOL you can cut back on the sugar but here I like to add more sugar too it sometimes. You can adjust sugar and salt on most recipes too taste.
Hello! Does this recipe call for 1/2 cup regular and 1/2 cup brown sugar? I don’t think I am reading this recipe correctly.
Ho Debbie, Yes, it does call for both 1/2 cup regular and 1/2 cup brown sugar. It is delicious!
