TEXAS GOULASH
Ultimate comfort food, Texas Goulash was originally my mother's recipe which she taught me to make at age 10. I've changed a few things over the years and made it "my own" after having prepared it for at least 40 years. You'll need a deep skillet for this one.

Steps:
- In a 3 quart saucepan, heat 2 cups of water on medium heat.
- While the water is heating, in a deep (3-inch) cast iron skillet or other large pot, crumble the ground chuck. Stirring and breaking up the meat, cook over medium high heat until no longer pink. Remove the meat from the skillet and drain the fat; set meat aside.
- Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to skillet and heat over medium heat. To the oil, add onion, bell pepper, and celery. Cook and stir the vegetables until softened, then add the minced garlic cloves and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the meat to the vegetables, the two cups of hot water, and the rest of the ingredients, except the macaroni.
- Let sauce cook for 30-40 minutes, adding additional water, if needed.
- While the sauce simmers, refill the saucepan with water and cook macaroni according to package directions. Drain macaroni and add to meat/sauce mixture and stir.
- Serve with warm, crusty homemade or French bread.

Tips:
- Choose the right beef: Chuck roast or stew meat are excellent choices for goulash, as they are tough cuts that become tender when cooked slowly.
- Brown the beef well: Browning the beef adds flavor and color to the goulash. Be sure to brown the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and steaming the meat.
- Use a good quality paprika: Paprika is a key ingredient in goulash, so be sure to use a good quality variety. Hungarian paprika is a great choice, as it has a deep, rich flavor.
- Don't skimp on the vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, texture, and color to goulash. Be sure to use a variety of vegetables, such as onions, carrots, celery, and potatoes.
- Cook the goulash low and slow: Goulash is a dish that benefits from long, slow cooking. This allows the flavors to develop and the beef to become tender.
- Serve with traditional accompaniments: Goulash is traditionally served with egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or spaetzle. You can also serve it with a side of sour cream or yogurt.
Conclusion:
Texas goulash is a hearty, flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it spicy or mild, with more vegetables or less, Texas goulash is a dish that everyone will enjoy.
