Brings me back to childhood Goulash

Childhood Goulash - 5 stars

When I was a little girl, my parents never had much money so Goulash was a real treat for dinner. I grew up loving this dish, so much so that I would request it for my birthday dinner each year. As I grew older and wiser, I still requested this meal. Something about this meal really feels like childhood. Now, as a mother, I make this for my family on a regular basis and even taught my 14 year son old how to make this. We probably make this about once every 2 weeks or so. I take all the leftovers to work as well. Yummy in my tummy!






You can add more veggies to this like mushrooms and zucchini to your liking, but I never have. You can also serve it with rice, however I prefer it with pasta. Specially large elbow or large shell pasta.
