HOW DO YOU MAKE GOULASH?
Goulash is known as a quick and easy dish to create and it really is, especially when you use a ground meat, tomato sauce, and pasta combination.
However, if you want to fix a more traditional Hungarian-type goulash with chunks of beef, plan on at least a couple of hours of simmering for tender meat. It is still a simple meal to prepare but you can’t get the traditional types of goulash on the table within 30 minutes!
Most goulash recipes call for stovetop cooking of the ingredients but anyone with a crock pot knows how wonderful they are for cooking any kind of stew. If you don’t want to or can’t keep an eye on the stove, using a crock pot is a great way to tenderize the meat.

This has NOTHING to do with Goulash!!!! You are totally misrepresenting the dish. Might as well call it Taco casserole ( which may be more accurate) or Chinese stir fry ( since it would not resemble that either)
Oh my goodness your post was so rude, IK be nice! My grandmother used to make the same exact dish and she called it Goulash. There are probably hundreds of “goulash” recipes in the world, with hundreds of variations, so relax a little.
Shauna, thank you for sharing this recipe, I appreciate that you took the time to put this together and share it. I am going to make it for my family tonight for dinner. I’m sure it will be delicious!
Take care!
Hi! Can’t get to the last recipe either, Old Fashioned Goulash…
Hi, Angel — you can find it HERE.
Where is the link to the Danish Goulash recipe??
You can CLICK HERE for it 🙂 Enjoy!
Your recipes look lovely. As a European trained dietician, I can tel you there is nothing in authentic Italian cuisine called goulash. German goulash has no hamburger, no pasta, just chunks of potatoes and beef. Call a spade a spade . . . These are mostly stews, hashes and casseroles of varying themes.
There are 4 kids,2 parents, and a grandmother. We eat dinner together at least 5 days a week. On a fixed income, we do this instead of going out. Thank you for this opportunity.
In step #1 At the end of the step it says to remove from heat then step #2..It says something like Add garlic and olive oil and until meat is fully cooked? I’m guessing that means you put it back on the heat? If so why take it off in the first place? Sorry if that sounds bad, just wondering if their is a reason? And also thinking this all wouldn’t fit in a skillet?
I am starving now!
What is Adobo seasoning? What can I use instead of it.
Hi, Valerie! It kind of reminds me of taco seasoning – it has garlic, oregano, cumin, onion powder, black pepper, etc. If you can’t find it in the spice aisle at your grocery store for some reason, I would suggest Googling and using a homemade version! Enjoy!
I was just craving this the other day!
