In my family, asking "What's in goulash?" is like asking, "What's in beef stew?" My mom made the basic ground beef, onions, tomato soup and rice....and then whatever else she was in the mood to add. Leftover veggies, can of pinto beans, whatever else sounded good. Hers was pretty bland; not a lot of seasoning other than salt, though.

I live in an area with many immigrants so 'goulash' here means something related to their native country. I was brought up on 'Hungarian Goulash' and it involves chicken with potatoes and an egg dumpling thing with paprika of course.

I have been known to put less than a teaspoon of sugar in a tomato dish to cut the acid.

I think goulash is whatever you want it to be. Sometimes it has ground beef and tomatoes and others it's other meats and other items. I think it's what ever you like at the time and mix up in one pan on top of the stove.

My is way simple... ground beef, onion, pasta and a can of tomato soup... I thin a little with catsup or water.... My 5 year old granddaughter was visiting and I made it... she had never had it before and loved it.... I save it for those sewing days when time gets away from me... Nothing better with homemade buttered bread and a slice of cheese.

Thayer, I have never heard of boiling ground beef... can you tell me how you do it... I am interested .... I bought some 80 lean by mistake and it is pretty greasy... this might be a good way to use it.

(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!)

What you all are describing sounds almost like chili with noodles to me.
