Goulash - what is in it?
#21
Goulash is my husband's favorite dish. I think he could eat it every day! There's no "set" recipe. I think you can add most any ingredient to it. Here's how I make mine (generally....)
1. hamburger meat or mixture of hamburger meat & sausage
2. chopped onion
3. cloves of garlic, browned with the meat,
4. chopped bell pepper, browned with meat
5. diced tomatoes or canned diced tomatoes
6. tomato sauce and tomato paste
7. ketchup
8. cooked macaroni
9. water, as needed
10. rotel tomatoes (regular, hot or hapanero) we like hot or habanero...
11. cut up mushrooms
12. optional - a can of whole kernel corn
Serve with homemade buttermilk cornbread

Ok so this thread really got me interested in the orgins of goulash and what is in it. Most of what I found agrees with this definition. Paprika seems to be the defining ingredient that makes it goulash not stew. It is tradionaly made with chunks of beef and simmered for long periods of time.
What does Goulash mean?
Goulash is a soup or stew made with meat, (mostly beef is used, then pork) onions and the most defining ingredient; paprika.
You can also add , potatoes, root vegetables, and for seasoning sometimes
wine, bay leaf, caraway or thyme.

[QUOTE=Doggramma;6783254]Ground beef, package of onion soup mix, can of tomato soup, season salt, water, then add cooked macaroni at the end. I like to put corn in it too.
I just recently had German goulash. It was chunks of beef and lots of paprika. Not sure what else, but the meat was very tender. It was served over spaetzle.[/QUOTE

At our house, it’s Boiled Ground Beef, Bell Peppers, Onions, Chili Powder, & S&P sautéed in Olive Oil, with canned Diced Tomatoes, & Elbow Macaroni.
(We boil 10 pounds of ground beef at a time and bag it up in snack bags once it’s drained and cooled then freeze it. We make a lot of Mexican Food dishes, and boiling the meat helps to break it up as fine as possible for Tacos, plus removes a lot of the fat. Works great for Goulash too!)

Ours is basically- Browned 2 lbs Ground Chuck, ( Drain meat if there is excess Grease ) with several large onions Chopped and dumped in along with a large Green pepper diced and dumped in , let it cook til all are softened....then add several Quarts of Home Canned Tomatoes and cook up 1 lb of any kind of macaroni ( my husband thinks only elbows will do) til just cooked firm,drain, and mix together -salt and pepper to taste, have a Bowl of Shredded Cheese on the Table to add on top when served... ( sometimes add a couple of Crushed Cloves of Garlic.) WE had this lots as kids because to feed 6 people my mom had to make do... Sometimes would make Garlic Bread with the heels of the Bread she saved and toasted them in the oven...
