Hungarian Goulash
Talk about your heirloom recipes! My grandmother made this Hungarian goulash recipe for my mother when she was a child, and she made it for us to enjoy. Paprika and caraway add wonderful flavor and sour cream gives it a creamy richness. It’s simply scrumptious! —Marcia Doyle, Pompano, Florida

I will try this very soon, from the ingredients I like it very much and like another reviewer my family likes Mushrooms in it as well. I cannot believe how people react to a recipe. Thankfully most are older reviews and I hope for y’all that time has healed the wounds over authentic or not authentic. Tastes differ and have some imagination of your own! Good luck to everyone giving this a chance, sounds like a good base for me.
Great recipe. Some people are confusing Goulash/Gulasch with Gulaschsuppe which is a very different recipe.
Probably you can call this goulash but it is definitely not a Hungarian gulyas recipe. Not even close. The real Hungarian gulyas is a rich delicious soup.
I have been searching for a recipe for Beef Hungarian Goulash and this was my first one tried. I love it and so did my husband. The flavors grew more powerful as it slow cooked all day. I served it on Kluski noodles (Mrs. Weiss is the true ones to buy) which are a German style noodle. Had more body to the noodle then an egg noodle. I am going to try making spatzels next time I make it. One thing I will try not combining the flour with the paste, paprika, etc, add the flour to the broth first because it clumped and had a hard time dissolving into the ingredients. I also used Hungarian Paprika. This recipe will be a favor in my family.
I'm giving 5 stars for the privilege of being able to try this "goulash". It so far is the best sounding goulash recipe I've come across. I do know how to change ingredients to my liking if necessary as might this Grandmother did to suit her family's taste or whatever was in her garden at the moment. I never read in any of this recipe that it was an "authentic" Hungarian goulash. I believe some of you folks need to come down a step or two from your pompous high and know-it-all selves and realize that within any given region or country or in our USA that these type of "one pot meals" can vary from state to state or for that matter from county to county! There ae "beach stews" on the oceans of the USA: on the Pacific, the Gulf, the Atlantic and even individual ones attributed to local cities, harbors, islands, etc. I am a collector of recipes of this sort and really have no argument with you other than the "authentic" name calling. I grew up calling anything that my mother or grandmother stirred together in one pot as a "goulash" or "slug goo"!!!
FANTASTIC recipe!! I could not care less what your grandmother called it - she passed down to you a wonderful dish filled with a hearty, classic taste that is absolutely divine! Thank you for sharing this!
This is not Hungarian gulyas!!!!! Not even close.! It is a huge mistake to call it Gulyas soup ! And yes it is a big dill like you would never call a hamburger taco ! Or name chicken soup as chilly soup . Timea from Hungary
this is a disgrace to call this food Hungarian gulyas
Been serving this for Christmas Eve dinner for years. It never lets you down!
People rating this based on name alone need to get off the internet and find something better to do with their time. That's the beauty of crock potting. Start with a base and mix it up to your liking. I rarely see any crock pot recipe that can be truly authentic. This is actually a pretty good recipe with a few modifications. My family requests this on a weekly basis. I like to sub out 1 tbs of paprika for Cajun seasoning to give it more spice and we like to add mushrooms to it. I whisk all my dry ingredients in a bowl prior to adding to the broth. I add the broth, whisk in either paste or ketchup depending on what I have on hand. Once that's blended, I slowly start whisking in the dry ingredients. It makes it much easier to stir without the flour clumping and it thickens up much faster. We also do sour cream in our bowls to personal liking. I think it takes away from the flavor if you mix it in with the rest of the stew.
