I am always on the hunt for the very best slow cooker recipes. And this Crock Pot Goulash will not disappoint!
This beef goulash is comfort food at its finest and you will not be disappointed, I can 100% guarantee that!
The Best Goulash Slow Cooker Recipe Ever!
Ok, you guys know that I love myself a delicious Crock Pot recipe, right?? This Goulash Crock Pot recipe is one slow cooker beef recipe that my family raves over!
And, what’s nice is that since I make my goulash recipe with the sauce separate from the noodles, it’s super versatile, too.
To mix things up, you could even serve part of the crockpot goulash sauce with the cooked noodles, and save part of it to cook over a Crock Pot Baked Potato Bar, Bratwurst, Hotdogs or spaghetti noodles.
The sauce is also delicious with some cheddar cheese mixed in – like uber-delicious!
This is also changing things up a bit because I find that I love to make recipes for ground beef in Crock Pot because I most often turn to chicken. So, if you also love to find ground beef crock pot recipes, this is a great one to pin for later and come back to (or add to your menu this week!)

*If the cooking time doesn’t leave you enough time to have it cook while you’re gone during the workweek, have the sauce cook on a weekend day and assemble the Goulash for your Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday night meal! The leftovers are even better than day of!
** When I was making this recipe and taking my pictures for this post, I was making a double batch. So, for one batch, you could get by with using a 4-Quart Crock Pot.
