Did your family serve a form of American Goulash growing up? I remember eating it every Friday in the school cafeteria.
They called it american chop suey and it didn’t taste anything like this but when your kids it was a treat for cafeteria food. Just the thought of it brings back some good childhood memories. But now this goulash is amazingly delicious. A grown up version of what I ate as a child.
One of my favorite things about Old Fashioned American Goulash, the delicious flavor, ease of cooking is that it’s such a frugal meal to make. Buy some ground beef when it’s on sale. Again if your know anything about us from reading our blog you know we stock up on meats when they are on sale and keep them in the freezer so we are always good to go when we have to cook up a meal.
So break out a pot and make this yummy goulash for your family. I bet you will get rave reviews!!
