Fast Easy American Goulash

[@bettyehayden2392]

I’ve been making goulash for about 70 years bc that was the first dish I learned to prepare at the age of 18 when I got married. I’m 88 now and still make it in smaller portions just for myself. I still like it very much.

[@oursilvermoments6028]

That is wonderful! Thank you for sharing this with us. All young cooks should be taught how to make goulash. Best wishes, Colleen

[@Thisisit120]

We’ll you have past up Lauren Vitaly. Because you put your recipe in the drop-down box and she doesn’t and I love you for that.

[@petronellavanbladel153]

I made this yesterday, it was a gloomy cloudy day here in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and this was the perfect "comfort food". It was the first time I made it and I just love it. I gave some to my neighbor and she also liked it. Thankyou

You're welcome! Thank you for your comments, it is nice to hear from someone so close to where I live. Best wishes, Colleen

Ah... Looks just like when I was a kid in the 60's.... Mom made it often as it fed 5 kids and we all loved it! It has been too many years since I've had it. Thank you! ❤️

Hi Colleen, I just watched this on my TV with KZbin and loved the recipe. We are seniors too, a bit older then you 75 and 76 and I have always loved to cook. Now somedays it's more like work because of all the things that happen to you once you don't have that young body and energy. This is a good dinner and I'm excited to make it. Not hard on the budget either. Thanks for sharing. Stay well and safe.

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Do great to hear from you and I apprdci6you watching. It is a budget friendly easy recipe that doesn't take a lot of time so I hope you enjoy it. Best wishes, Colleen

[@annettegraff8323]

Yes! I make enough for leftovers for 1. My daughter doesn't care for it .I think it tastes better next day! I'm going to try freezing some this time. Great fi days I don't feel like cooking. 🎉

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Oh that's interesting 🤔

[@bonniebartlow5631]

In California-some call it Chili Mac (besides goulash) I guess a kind of newer name for a version of it. The chili Mac probably has fewer ingredients in it.

Mom made this dish on Long Island back in the 50s. She called it American Chop Suey. She never used elbows only spaghetti broken up. Dad made the real thing. His Hungarian Goulash was so delicious and served over buttered egg noodles.

[@lynnebattaglia-triggs1042]

I have seen it called the same in the US.

Thank you Keagan! I do love my children. Sorry about the anxiety around the knife skills but I sure thank you for watching. Cheers, Colleen

[@anneschantl8929]

I think your meat sauce in the American Goulash would be very versatile. Some of my Grandchildren love spaghetti and others rice or couscous. I would make up a big batch of meat sauce and add the appropriate carbohydrate at serving time. For real comfort food some of my family love mashed potato’s which would also go well. I’m sure Thespis sauce freezes like a dream in appropriate size containers. Thank you for the recipe.

[@gldenno6169]

Hello Colleen. I sure enjoyed your video on KZbin today, in your lovely kitchen and your nice way of explaining things. I’m going to make this goulash tonight. Like your husband, mine loves this dish too. It is definitely comfort food that my mother often made for my brother and sisters on a cold Minnesota day and one that I still make when Florida temps drop into the 60’s. Brrrr. Time for some goulash! Thank you for your version of goulash and happy holidays!

Goulash is a dish my mom and my granny made. It was definitely a staple dish that everyone enjoyed. We always make it with Worcestershire but I’m trying the soy sauce soon.

She doesn't cook anymore & I hate cooking for one, so this is a win-win.

[@JoanneMcCoog]

15:02 Love your videos Colleen! I grew up on the Hungarian style of goulash with potatoes instead of pasta but I much prefer American goulash. Question for you…the written recipe doesn’t mention the soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce so I just wanted to double check the amount with you. If you would be so kind… P.S. if you put a damp paper towel or washcloth under your plastic cutting board it won’t slide around on your counter. And using the blunt edge of your knife to scrape things from the cutting board into the pot will save the sharpness of the blade edge. 😊

[@stormyrain2335]

This is something something I grew up on in the 60's, soy sauce was never added, thank goodness my mom used Worcestershire sauce. 😊

[@phyllisprovo7916]

Hi Colleen. I made this today, and it's very good. But when I watched your video I see that you added soya sauce, which is not listed in the ingredients list. So I am wondering what difference the soya sauce makes? Should I add it after the fact? I probably won't, this time, but may try it next time (and there will be a next time!). I live alone since my husband went to heaven, so a big pot of goulash isn't something I can eat all on my own right away. So I will freeze one-serving bags tomorrow, and will enjoy it over the next while. Thank you, dear friend, for sharing this recipe with us. I realize I am late to the party so you may not see this, but I hope you do so you can know that we, our here, are still watching your videos and enjoying your recipes. God bless.

Colleen, I have a few questions. First, I don't have any seasoned salt, will it affect the flavor much if I just use regular salt, and secondly in the video you mentioned you add soy sauce or worcestershire sauce, but either one is not listed in your printed recipe. I assume it should be there correct. I'm making this tomorrow, so I hope you see this. Thank you. Stay well and safe.

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Hello, Regular salt would be fine I'm sure. And the additions for worchestershire or soy sauce is optional that is why I didn't put it in the recipe. Good luck with the recipe. Let me know how it turns out for you. Cheers, Colleen

My paternal grandmother used to make something she called Goulash, but it is nothing like this or Hungarian Goulash. It took me many years to figure out what my family had passed mother to mother down the generations. I finally ran into Czech Goulash. I recommend if you ever decide to try something different. My maternal grandmother on the other hand, made this dish. I do love it, though, not with macaroni, instead boiled potatoes.
