This recipe is a favorite for my kids. They like these Goulash type recipes where we mix hamburger, beans, corn and tomatoes. With this recipe you will need to cook the hamburger beforehand, and I would highly suggest using a lean ground beef and this recipe can easily be swapped out with ground turkey or ground venison.
We like to top our bowls of casserole with fresh toppings like diced tomatoes, lettuce and sour cream and make sort of a taco bowl type dish. You could also throw this inside tortillas for burritos, in fact that is what I like to do with leftovers, and then I wrap the burritos up in foil and pop them into the freezer and I have quick and easy lunches for another day!
Two birds with one stone…I love that kind of cooking!

Loved, loved, LOVED this one. I am trying all your freezer meals and this one is my favorite so far. It was just like chili, but without tasting like tomatoes. I used black beans because that’s what I had and ate it with tortilla chips. The best part is that I usually have all these ingredients on hand so I can whip it up any time I want. That’s a good thing because I could not stop eating it.
I’m so glad I found your site! Since I bulk cook and prepare freezer foods a lot, I am always thrilled to find a new source. Right now I have both my crock pots going: one is this Western Beef Casserole and the other is your Whip It Up Wednesday Minestrone. Yep, it is Wednesday! Thanks, Lady Sarah.
For the Crock-Pot Western Beef Casserole, is it condensed tomato soup or regular tomato soup?
It is condensed tomato soup.
I have also made this as a freezer meal, kept it in a cooler, then cooked it up in a deep pan over a camp stove or a fire while camping. My family loves this and it is one of our “go to” dinners. I have also made it with stew meat instead of ground beef. We have also topped it with sour cream before. YUM!!!
This would make an excellent camping meal!
This one is a favorite with my kids too. Occasionally we serve this one over pasta, just to help it stretch a little farther.
That is such a great idea Glynis!
I switched out the corn for canned peas and carrots and served it over white rice, Very yummy
Sounds great Walter! You can totally use other types of vegetables in this dish and it always comes out great!
I added some bell pepper and cumin and it was AMAZING.
Yum!
