Goodweed of the North said:are we talking about the real European goulash, or the Americanized version that has no resemblance whatsoever to the original dish? We have people hear that can give you both. But we need to know what it is that you want.

Interesting! This is nothing at all like the chop suey recipe I grew up with (Mine uses stew beef, onions, mushrooms, celery, soy sauce, and molasses, and is served on rice). It is interesting how we all have such different names for the same foods.Andy M. said:I must be naive about goulash. I had no idea it was also a dish like slum gullion which is called American Chop Suey around here.
Oh, well. If you want a Hungarian/Austrian Goulash recipe, see above.
If you want a Slum Gullion/American Chop Suey, American Goulash recipe, see below:
American Chop Suey
1 Lb Ground Beef
1 Ea Onion
1 Ea Green Pepper
2 Cl Garlic
3 Tb Tomato Paste
28 Oz Canned Tomato
2 C Elbow Macaroni
Brown the beef in a sauté pan over medium high heat. Remove it from the pan. Pour off all but two tablespoons of fat.
Sauté the onion, pepper and garlic in the remaining fat until softened.
Add the paste and sauté for an additional 3 minutes.
Add the tomato and the meat to the sautéed vegetables. Simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Prepare the pasta according to package directions.
When the pasta is cooked, drain off the water and mix the pasta with the vegetable and meat mixture. Cook together for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavor of the sauce to cook into the pasta.
Serve with grated cheese.
BreezyCooking said:That sounds good - but isn't it more of a chili dish? Same with the "Chop Suey". How is that a "goulash"?
I thought the original poster was looking for just goulash recipes, but maybe I read wrong.
Except for serving atop egg noodles, I've never heard of an authentic goulash that was cooked with macaroni & didn't have sour cream.
