WHAT IS HAMBURGER GOULASH?
Goulash is a recipe that was developed hundreds of years ago in Hungary, and it is still a much-loved dish there. There, it is a type of soup or stew made with meat and vegetables, seasoned with paprika and other spices.
Over the years, the recipe has been “Americanized” in some ways. The American version of goulash is more of a casserole, a mix of wonderful comfort foods that are sure to please. Some things always stay the same about hamburger goulash, though. It is a dish that is comforting, filling, and just plain delicious!
It is also incredibly easy to make, so it is a perfect addition to your dinner rotation!
WHAT IF I HAVE A PICKY EATER TO PLEASE?
The great thing about Slow Cooker Hamburger Goulash is that it is filled with comfort foods that kids tend to love. It is also easy to make substitutions!
For example, if your kids aren’t big on chunky tomatoes or peppers, just substitute tomato puree or tomato sauce. You will still get the same rich flavor, and your kids won’t search for veggie pieces!
IS SLOW COOKER HAMBURGER GOULASH EASY TO FREEZE?
Slow Cooker Hamburger Goulash is very easy to freeze! I suggest freezing it without the pasta, as it is easy to cook and add in toward the end of the cooking process. That way, the texture of the pasta will not be affected. The cheese can be frozen, but I recommend freezing it in its own bag so that it can be added in on its own.
I hope your family loves hamburger goulash as much as mine does. Try it tonight!

Family Happening From Our Family of 9
Meet Colton. He’s my newly turned 7 year old, ornery boy. He loves to bug his sisters and play rough as much as he can. He also loves to make crazy noises with his mouth, much to his sister’s dismay. LOL. He’s an active boy who is stuck in the middle of a bunch of girls. Sometimes we have to send him to a friend’s house to do some boy stuff, just to burn some extra energy. Or, he’ll hang out with his college aged brother and his dad any chance he gets, too!
