Goulash

While doing some quick research before typing up our recipe for goulash I was somewhat surprised about how many variations there are of this dish and how it has changed over the hundreds of years it has been prepared and eaten. The following is very much an American version of the dish.

Ingredients:

One pound meat (we use kielbasa or ground beef)

One onion, diced

Garlic clove, crushed

Green pepper, diced

Paprika, caraway seed, salt and pepper, chili powder to taste

Splash of Worcestershire sauce

Squeeze of mustard

Add all of the above to a skillet and cook until done

Boil one package of elbow or shell noodles until done, drain, then add the above ingredients to the pot along with:

One can diced tomatoes

One can mushrooms

Pinch of parsley

One can of corn

And finally add tomato sauce, the amount of which will determine if you are making more of a casserole type dish or a soup.

Heat until warm and top with sour cream and shredded cheese.
