POOR-MAN'S GOULASH
I make this almost every week. My husband is EXTREMELY picky and he loves it. I took a recipe his mother used to make and made it better. Hope you enjoy. I never really measure. So I did my best at estimating the herbs.

KICKED-UP GOULASH
This is no elementary school goulash, although it's as easy and a teen-pleaser. I created this recipe with what I had on hand, but the pearl onions and corn kick it up. It's hard to stop eating.

PICKY MIKE'S GOULASH
Quick and easy to make. I especially like a goulash in the winter as an alternative to chili. My husband is a VERY PICKY eater, but he loves this dish. This goulash is best on the second day and is great with a salad and garlic bread.

Tips:

- Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to your goulash. Some good options include onions, carrots, celery, potatoes, and bell peppers.
- Season the goulash well. Paprika is essential, but you can also add other spices like cumin, oregano, and garlic powder. Be sure to taste the goulash as you go and adjust the seasonings to your liking.
- Simmer the goulash for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and the beef to become tender.
- Serve the goulash with a variety of toppings. Some popular options include sour cream, grated cheese, and chopped parsley.
Conclusion:

- There are many different recipes for goulash, but the basic ingredients are always the same: beef, vegetables, and paprika.
- You can use any type of beef for goulash, but chuck roast or stew meat are good options.
- The vegetables that you use in your goulash are up to you, but some good options include onions, carrots, celery, potatoes, and bell peppers.
- Paprika is the essential spice in goulash. Be sure to use a good quality paprika, and don't be afraid to add a lot of it.
- Goulash is a stew that gets better with time, so don't be afraid to make a big batch and freeze some for later.
