Well Fraidy, like Andy M said, my Pennsyltucky parents called it slum gullion.

We must be related, Skillet, because my family is from Pennsylvania yet when Dad retired we somehow found ourselves in Tennessee! But I still make the European version of goulash. I think Mom made slum gullion once and Dad told her once was enough. I make the slum gullion version a few times a year. It's easy and filling.

This thread got me hungry for slum gullion so I made some last night. Since it is just me here this weekend, I have enough to re-heat for the next couple of nights.

Not saying it's not good, I've been there done that myself! And it's inexpensive food and makes for good leftovers! Enjoy!

I love goulash..........one of those childhood comfort foods. Moms recipe consists of ground beef, onions, green bell peppers, tomato soup, garlic powder, garlic salt, tomato sauce, s & p, worcheshire sauce, ketchup. and a bay leaf......with cooked elbow macaroni stirred into the mixture. We always ate it with just bread and butter.

I've had the soup type goulash and the European style stew with paprika and sour cream and really love them both.

Never in my life have I tasted or even heard of "Slum Gullion".

Everyone enjoyed your recipe we had this last night. Especially me, when it was so quick. I just love recipes that taste real good and being so quick. Thanks again

Glad you enjoyed it, ITK.

I came up with this recipe because my daughter had the dish in the college cafeteria and loved it. She asked if I could make it, so I came up with a recipe. She and I changed it a couple of times before we were able to recreate her memory.
