Mushrooms, carrots, green pepper, cauliflower, courgette, potato (mmm double carbs), a few chickpeas thrown in as I had some in the fridge (not usually in goulash but it worked). Served with brown rice and a big dollop of Greek style oat yoghurt. Exactly what I needed now that autumn is here

    Wanna hear a real goulash crime? 1lb ground beef, 1 can cream of mushroom soup, 1 can of tomato soup, salt and pepper served over macaroni noodles. That’s what I knew as goulash growing up thanks to my Midwestern-ass family

      Goulash in my family was ground beef with diced carrots, onion, and celery. A can of diced tomatoes. Healthy amount of garlic. Over elbow macaroni.

      This definitely was not real goulash. But that’s what it was called when it was put out in front of me.

        I see we’re getting deeper and deeper. What you (USians?) write about would count as “goulash with pasta” for me because pasta is not a default goulash ingredient in my central european part of the world. But if you throw groats there or diced potato as carbs then it doesn’t need the “with X” qualifier… Apparently the farther away from Hungary we are the more wrong goulash becomes haha

          Well it’s really hard to get fresh groat in my part of the country. You can get it canned but it doesn’t even taste like groat anymore. You just have to make do with what’s available.
