    When our mom was in the hospital, our dad made "goulash." The next night, goulash; we said dad, we had goulash last night; he said it was Polish goulash; the next night, American goulash, then Lithuanian, then Swedish, and so on; we thought our dad was the bomb! Such great memories.

    I remember my grandmother making this but she didn't use nearly as many ingredients. If I recall correctly, she told me it was a dish made in many households during the great depression because it was fairly cheap to make. And being from the country, the onions, peppers, tomatoes (fresh or home canned) usually came from the family garden making the cost even lower.

      You are right on, my dear! Both of my grandmothers made goulash using kitchen gardens right out their back doors. Kitchen gardens are a smaller version of a person’s big garden accessible right out the back door…lol! Tomato’s, green peppers, cabbage, onions, potatoes, etc. My mother’s mom put me outside on morning with a salt shaker and I ate ripe tomatoes right off the vine! There was a pump handle well right at the beginning of the rows of vegetables in the garden. All I had to do was grab the handle and pump to get water to wash my ripe, juicy tomato off before biting into it! By the time I went back in the house I had juice running down my face, my shirt and my legs with tomato juice! Mmmm, they those tomatoes were good! My mom’s goulash must have had more tomatoes or maybe use tomato paste than this recipe because the juice was thicker and redder than this one??? Any one way, both were DELICIOUS and served with hot, homemade bread….yes!

    I made this last weekend. It ended up a little different than I usually make it though. I forgot to grab a green pepper when I did my shopping, but I did have a box of baby bellas, so I used them instead, chopped up fine. I also add a sweet onion minced fine which I caramelize with the mushrooms in real butter, before the beef goes in, carmelizing the onion adds a extra depth of flavor. I've tried both ways and that extra browning on the onion does make a difference. I also use a small can of tomato paste and beef better than bullion. The paste & bullion both get stirred into the beef and veg and cooked till the flavors meld together. I also use a can of diced tomatoes and a can of plain tomato sauce and about 4 cups or so of water to cook the macaroni. Last ingredient was a little block of Kerrygold sharp cheddar stirred in. A little garlic salt and a lot of fresh ground black pepper. I'm a family of one so I give away most of what I cook. My son-in-law texted me after he ate his and said "it was ballin beefaroni", 🤣 kids. I took some for my nurse at my hemodialysis unit and she liked it well enough to be sneaking back to their lunch room all morning and eat bites of it cold😮. My sister, who never tried mushrooms, claims she hates them said, "it had a really good flavor". Lol. All I said was "thank-you". No way will I ever tell her she ate mushrooms🤣. Unless of course she outright asks if I added them. Then I'd have to tell her the truth.
    One thing I learned early on when raising kids is if you mince fine or even puree the veg they claim they hate... they'll eat anything. If they can't see it, they'll eat it without complaint. Outta sight, outta mind. And they get their vegtables.

    Love your channel. I use Worcestershire sauce in cooking a LOT. My Dad was from Peterborough, England. The British pronunciation is wooster shear. I always cook my pasta separately. My French chef Mom said the starch from the pasta alters the taste of the dish you are making. Also: if you have leftovers? The pasta will get like glue. Just separate the pasta in another bowl and refrigerate it after it cools. When your ready for leftovers? Heat up the mixture then add the macaroni. Lot less starchy and the pasta doesn’t get mushy from being overcooked. My mom? DARN her! Was RIGHT! Miss you Mom and Dad…xxoo

      Your note was posted a long time ago, but I'm going to use this recipe again, and read through it just to be sure I have all the ingredients in mind. Then I read comments. I do the same, cooking the macaroni separately, for the same reasons. I can make double the recipe of the sauce and meat, and freeze half, then I don't have weird macaroni in the frozen portion. I cook fresh noodles when I'm serving the second half, later on. I agree... it's much better, for me, that way. Just thought I'd tell you.. you never know when your words will be read. :)

    I'm from the Netherlands, and I've never before heard a dish like this called "goulash". We would just call it "macaroni". Goulash to us (in Europe) is NOT with macaroni, but it's a beef dish that has to simmer for hours, and you eat it with rice, potatoes or bread etc.

    Its a personal choice what people like to eat. Its NEVER wrong, its your taste.
    I just don't like when people say it's original and its not. Fusion cooking has been around for a long time and its great.
    My American goulash is a bit different. I use:
    Red bell pepper
    Onion
    Ground beef
    Garlic
    Oregano
    Beef stock
    Diced tomatoes
    Some tomato paste from a tube.
    1 tsp of sugar. If I have canned tomatoes from my garden I omit the sugar
    Red pepper flakes (opt.)
    Soy sauce. That shocked me but its magic.
    Of course pasta.
    Cheese is added at the dining table and it your choice. Salad and Texas toast on the side.
    Your looks very good but different.

    I'm in a living situation at the moment that I have no control what meals are made or served. I am moving soon and I am looking forward to making my mom's goulash. It's a little different than yours but it's goulash it's a comfort food and I love it. You've given me some ideas that I'm probably going to add to my goulash just for the flavor of it. Thank you for reminding me of this wonderful dish.

    My family's version is more tomatoes, no corn, and cheese is added after plated. I'm definitely giving this version a try! Thank you for sharing. Probably going to try all versions shared in comments too. I love goulash!😋

    Hello Catherine!
    It was fun to watch your goulash video. I have loved this easy dish for decades…had it at home when I was a kid and made it often after I got married, but it had fewer ingredients. We browned a pound of hamburger, a medium onion chopped and browned together, a little green pepper if we had it, a can of tomato soup, and small can of tomato sauce, and a cup or 2 of cooked elbow macaroni, seasonings and let it simmer a bit. Sooo good!
    So I’m now in my mid seventies and going to make it your way tonight…it’s cooking now but I’m a little hesitant to add broth and the macaroni. I might have to cook it separately. Old dog, new trick!
    Thanks for always delivering a good recipe for us TH-cam watchers!

    I am from Florida and I call that Beefaroni. The goulash we make is stewed beef with onions and bacon with lots of delicious beef gravy that has a hint of smok from the bacon a hint of mustard and dill and it’s served over diced boiled potatoes. It is very similar to Rouladen.

    Hi Catherine. I love goulash, and grew up eating it as a kid. My mom made it a little while back, but she didn't put corn or bell peppers in it. We normally don't do green bell peppers or cellery in our food because they always overpower the taste of everything else in the dish.

    Goulash is my FAVORITE!!! I've never tried bell pepper before even though its one of my absolute favorite foods! I love them by themselves. I make 2 different types of goulash. And recently have discovered that a bit of chili seasoning, paprika and Adobe seasoning added so much flavor! After browning the ground sirloin I sauté at least 5 onions and as the whole soup is cooking I use the same elbow pasta. The tomato, I use diced and puree. BEST goulash EVER!!! If it were just for me I would use 10 onions! 😆 🤣 When I reheat a bowl the next day I put 1-2 slices of mozzarella on top. The pepper and salt are so important. Thank you for sharing your recipe.

    Yes, this is pretty much what we grew up eating. Of course mom would add as many vegetables as she could and often having a garden, we would have a lot of them. Okra is another vegetable that's good in a dish like this. But I don't remember ever having cheese on top. 🤔 And I'm not sure why. Everything is better with cheese!

    Years ago my son said he wanted spaghettiOs with meatballs like the neighbor kid gets. I made American goulash that day and told my son how much better it is. He wouldn’t touch it seeing the peppers and onions. Later on the neighbor boy came over and hovered over the pot saying how delicious goulash is. He said it was his most favorite and wished he didn’t have to eat the canned stuff. As little Bobby was leaving I paid him the 5 dollars I promised him for saying how great the dish was!!! 😂 My son finally tried it and has loved it ever sense.

  • @dominickefrim3088
    @dominickefrim3088 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The only real difference with my goulash is i don't use the Worcestershire and i use a little sugar to cut through the tanginess of the tomatoes.
    I also use fresh garlic at the start and only a little garlic powder on the back end if the sauce needs more garlic.
    When serving i usually use fresh grated cheese and parsley flakes as well to add a layer of color and flavor to the plate for presentation. I don't fully stir the cheese in while cooking but fold it in and leave some of the cheese to melt before serving.
    Goes great paired with 1/4rd garlic bread or Parmesan toasted texas toast type bread.
    It sounds complicated but it's actually very simple and easy to execute perfectly everytime i make it.

    Yes , I've been eating Goulash for 60 years. not many people add tomato soup or even think of it , you are the second person outside my family who ive seen use it.Our recipes differ, but basically the same. Mine has onions and bell pepper , ground chuck with salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, fresh garlic and 4Tbsp. of pancake syrup (maybe more after tasting) that i all cooked together., then elbow macaroni and 1 lg.or 3sm. cans of tomato soup w/half can of milk. my mom never added the milk but i do because it cuts that tomato flavor a bit and makes it a bit creamier. My grandchildren love it SO DO I . oh , i add 2 or 3 tbsp of butter at end , it gives it a shine and a little more somethin somethin, i just started doing that in the past few yrs . your version looks very tasty . p.s. tried your taco spaghetti and my grandchildren absolutely loved it, thank you !
