Does anyone have a good Goulash recipe?

Question

My mom used to make it. (I can't ask her because she passed away.) The best I can remember it had, ground beef, onions, bell peppers, and elbow macaroni. What else?

Answer 1

tomato juice, tomato paste, and a little sugar (along with what you have above). That is about all I put in mine. I don't have measurements, because I just kinda mix it all together. I also add garlic salt and pepper.

2 tbsp Butter
2 cup Chopped Onion
1 Minced Garlic Clove

2 1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Caraway Seeds

1/4 cup Red Wine(not cooking wine)
4 large Tomatoes, Peeled, Chopped
3 tbsp Flour

soft.
5.Stir in the paprika, salt and caraway seeds; cook for 1
minute.
6.Stir in the meat, coca-cola, wine and tomatoes.

Answer 3

4 slices bacon, chopped
3 pounds boneless beef shank, trimmed and cut into 2-inch cubes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 roasted red bell peppers, peeled and sliced
3 tablespoons Hungarian sweet paprika
2 teaspoons caraway seeds, toasted and ground
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 (15-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, hand crushed
6 cups low-sodium beef broth
4 russet potatoes, peeled and thickly sliced
1/2 cup sour cream
Chopped flat-leaf parsley, for garnish


Place a large heavy pot over medium heat and add the bacon. Fry for about 5 minutes until crisp and remove to a paper towel and reserve. Add the beef to the hot bacon fat and brown it evenly on all sides, turning with tongs; season generously with salt and pepper. While the beef is searing, sprinkle the flour evenly in the pot and continue to stir to dissolve any clumps. Add a little oil if necessary to keep the meat from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Toss in the onions, garlic, roasted peppers, paprika, and caraway; cook and stir for 2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the vinegar, tomatoes, and broth. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer and cook for 1 hour, covered, stirring occasionally.

Add the potatoes. Crumble the reserved bacon into the stew and continue to simmer for 30 minutes, partially covered, until the potatoes are tender. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and stir the sour cream into the goulash just before serving. Garnish with the chopped parsley.

Answer 4

My family just love Goulash. I add a can of stewed tomatoes, crushed in a processor. Can of Rotel Tomatoes. Lot's of Garlic and I use Corkscrew macaroni. It holds all the sauce and spices better. And of course all the above that you mention. Just pour and enjoy.

Much better the next day.

Let me know when it is ready!!!!!
