Recently I was in the mood for something similar to my slow cooker beef and green beans recipe, but I had ground beef to use instead of a chuck roast. I also didn’t want it to be as saucy, and since my husband was out of town, it was going to include mushrooms.
I used frozen green beans and canned tomatoes since that’s my best option this time of year, but fresh would probably work too. I loved the result, and served by itself it’s a great low-carb meal. Feel free to serve it with rice or gluten free bread.
Yield:
Ground Beef and Green Beans (Slow Cooker)
Ingredients
- 2 pounds lean ground beef
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 10 ounces frozen slender green beans
- 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms
- 2 15-ounce cans diced tomatoes, with juice
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Sauté the ground beef and onion until the beef is no longer pink.
- Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Drain the beef mixture.
- Clean the mushrooms and remove the stems. Slice.
- Place all ingredients in the slow cooker and gently mix to combine.
- Cover and cook on low for 6 – 8 hours or high 3 – 4 hours.
Linda, that is a great slow cooker recipe 🙂 I probably could very well just eat this on its own and enjoy it a lot.
Thanks, Jerry. I appreciate you stopping by and commenting.
This is awesome! I struggle with meals everyday. I have celiac decease & diabetes. Thank you!
Just started gluten free for IBS and I have two young daughters and a meat and “potatoes”kind of husband. I’m dying to try your recipes because they look easy, inexpensive, and delicious. Many thanks!
Definately making this tomorrow night!!! Will let ya know results!! Thanks gf!!
Make a similar dish w/gold potatoes and ground beef w/only salt/pepper.
I love your recipes. The ground beef and green beans is one of my favorites!
Great recipe! Whole family loved it. I looked for a recipe for green beans and ground meat and came across this one. I was ready to cook dinner so I actually cooked this on the stove top. I also used fresh green beans and ground turkey-still had great flavor! Next time will cook it in the slow cooker. Thank you for helping me find a recipe I can put on our favorite go to’s!
I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for letting me know. Many slow cooker recipes can be cooked on the stove top. It’s nice to have both options!
Absolutely love the recipe I added extra veggies such at zucchini and fresh tomatoes and peppers and it gave it so much flavor its a great idea for a last min meal I had everything in my house already thank you for the great idea and recipe

Ooooooo, looks like my lunch menu for the week. Yummy!
Thank you so much for giving us these meal suggestions. It is difficult for me to come up with ideas. You are a sweetie!
Funny story…my mom made this forever when I was a kid and called it “goulash”. We served it over white rice. I made it for my kids & they now make it for their kids…all the while calling it goulash. We were talking to my dad about how (French cut Greenbeans, Ground Beef, Stewed Tomatos, Onion, Garlic, Salt &Pepper) has always been a favorite but other folks have a totally different take on the veggies they use.
He says ” Huh…I guess you can use greenbeans ” I said that’s how mom always made it and he informed me, “never greenbeans only green pepper”
Some how I had misenturpeted the family tradition!!! It’s too delicious to turn back now!
I just can’t seem to find the proper name which led me to You!
That is a funny story! I could definitely see this being made with green pepper. That’s something my mom would have done.
Thanks for this recipe. When I was a kid, my grandmother used to cook for my older sister who was on the Weight Watchers Diet. She used to make this really, really great casserole that had ground beef, green beans, and a too-juicy-to-be tomato sauce or tomato paste–my sister thinks it was cooked with tomato juice. I have been looking for the recipe and so far, this seems closest to it. I plan to make it tonight.
Thanks again!

My mom probably used the same recipe she also went to weight watchers and i agree this is the closest i can find too
I have not tried it yet but this reminds me of a recipe I used to make when my kids were all young didn’t put mushrooms and then but I’m going to now thank you
My husband and I just tried your recipe for dinner tonight and it is delicious! Thank you so much for sharing it!
