This recipe for goulash in the Crock Pot is one of my go-tos for a busy week. It makes a boatload of sauce that is easy to use with noodles in traditional goulash, but my Crockpot goulash recipe also makes a great topping for hot dogs, baked potatoes and more!

Notes
*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.
