CROCK POT GOULASH



Crock Pot Goulash image

Seems like everyone in the Midwest has a recipe for goulash that has nothing to do with the Hungarian kind. This was my mom's recipe, which I adapted for the crock pot after living in a apartment with an unruly oven that would set off the smoke alarm no matter how often I cleaned it. This is a very simple recipe, but it's my brother's favorite meal in the world (thus I make it for him every Christmas Eve). Good with garlic-cheese bread.

Tips:

  • Brown the beef before cooking: This will help to develop the flavor and prevent the meat from becoming tough.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor, texture, and color to the dish. Some good options include potatoes, carrots, onions, celery, and bell peppers.
  • Use a good quality broth: This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Use a beef broth or a combination of beef and chicken broth.
  • Season the dish well: Use salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to taste.
  • Cook the goulash on low heat for a long time: This will allow the flavors to develop and the meat to become tender.
  • Serve the goulash with a side of bread or rice: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Goulash is a hearty and flavorful stew that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make in a crockpot, and it is a great way to use up leftover beef. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
