Slow-Cooked Hungarian Goulash
The tasty family dish boasts a rich creamy sauce certain to satisfy goulash lovers. I enjoy sharing recipes with friends and family and this one's great for potluck suppers, too. Garnish with fresh parsley for flavor and color. —Jackie Kohn, Duluth, Minnesota

Jackie Kohn's recipe? That's weird. Was she writing recipes for the 1980's cookbooks that came with crock-pots? Just wondering, because that's where I got this exact recipe from.Someone said it's a little bland, to fix that, up the spice amounts some. It also helps if your spices are less than 6 months old, which mine usually aren't. I also use elbow noodles rather than egg noodles and I mix them in to the Goulash rather than serving it over the noodles. This recipe is also missing one thing that all Hungarian Goulash has and that's crushed Caraway. I haven't tried it with that yet so I can't tell you how much to use.
This was delicious. My family thoroughly enjoyed it. The slow cooker made a tough cut of beef quite tender and edible. I cooked it the maximum time. Served it with egg noodles. It was consumed in no time. I'm now using an Instant Pot so will try it out in that the next time I make it.
The recipe as written is bland. This was delicious after my fixes. I followed the recipe once. This time, I added two cloves of garlic then braised the meat and deglazed the pan with the tomatoes. That was intentional. When I reached for my paprika, I found I was out. I used chili powder instead. Happy accident. I will never use paprika in this again. Maybe that disqualifies it as goulash, but I don't care, it was way better this way.
Rivalled my Slovenian mother in laws. I used moose instead of beef because we are a family of hunters. I added two beef bullion cubes and a cup of water to the slow cooker, along with two additional tbsp of flour and skipped the sour cream all together. Would use this recipe again!
It was good, but bland.
Made this just as the recipe said and it was delicious!
I really liked this. A good dish for the winter months. Creamy and mild in taste. Had with egg noodles.
My family enjoyed this recipe very much. I like the simplicity of it
Out of 7 reviews, I only see 2 that give this recipe higher stars, and both of those reviews had to "tweak" the recipe. I won't be making this.
I used a 10 oz. can of Rotel diced tomatoes with green chili's and 1/2 can tomato sauce with green chili's to give it some twang!
