I loved this! Very similar to what we were served in Hungary. It's a soup! I used a combo of smoked and hot paprika to give it some heat, and cubed up a sirloin tip roast that had been languishing in the freezer. Followed the directions exactly. Served with cucumber/vinegar salad and crusty bread. (Spaetzle could work)

"Hungarian goulash was a family favorite when I was growing up. I've updated my mom's recipe with fresh vegetables. Replacing plain tomato sauce with roasted diced tomatoes improved the taste and texture of the gravy." —Sheryl Chomak, Beaverton, OR
Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 1/2 cup goulash and 1/2 cup noodles)
