Goulash

This is the Flashback dinner recipe.

This goulash  recipe that my mom made on a regular basis and I still love it today. It is one of the best comfort foods of the past. You can make it a variety of ways so don’t worry about following the recipe just sub out what you don’t have in the cupboard for what you do. Cooking is not a science so don’t worry about measurements either. Here is the recipe.

Goulash

I started with a pound of ground beef and fried it up with some peppers, onions and celery. You can add or omit any of the veggies above.

I added some frozen meatballs I had in the freezer too and cut them in half. When that was warm I added some spaghetti sauce, can or two of tomatoes. Now you can use whatever red sause or tomatoes. Tomatoe paste, puree or any other will work. Can spaghetti sauce works well because it has lots of seasoning in it already. If you would like to make sauce from scratch I have added a link to a recipe for that below.  You can add salt, pepper, garlic, parsley, oregano, basil or just some Italian seasoning. You can add any other seasoning you like. Let it simmer for a bit so the flavors can get happy together.

Boil some noodles. This choice is up to you so whatever you have you can use. I used egg noodles but the original goulash my mom made called for plain macaroni.

When they are done add them to the sauce and toss.Warm it and it is ready to serve.Add some cheese on top when you dish it up. This is wonderful old fashioned goulash.

Enjoy
