COUNTRY GOULASH
My grandfather came from Hungary when he was three. My grandmother made this recipe for a taste of home for him. It is Americanized, but still delicious. He added sour cream to his, while we kids we ate it plain. The consistency grandma made was like a casserole or stew rather than a soup.

I don't know where my grandma found this recipe but it is one of the family favorites! We always called it "Ketchup Stew." I know, it sounds weird, but it is truly the best stew I have ever had! Great for cold winter nights. Serve with a salad and buttered bread!
