Hungarian Goulash Crock Pot method
With so many Hungarian Goulash recipes out there, how do you know what's authentic? Dumplings or not, stew or thicker, noodles or plain.
Hungarian Goulash Crock Pot method
My husband spent a year abroad learning in Bonn, Germany and traveling all over Europe, so when he asked me to generate an authentic Hungarian Goulash formula I was a miniature timid. With a miniature bit of study and my crock pot, I came up with this formula and held my breath while he took his first bite.
He loved it! He claims it is as close to "true" Hungarian Goulash as he's ever tasted in the states. We served it over noodles, any way traditionally it's thicker than a stew and is eaten by itself; no dumplings, no noodles. Ironically enough, a few months later a friend of ours made the same formula for their father who was also picky about his goulash having spent time in Budapest. More compliments reigned in; this truly was a close-to-authentic recipe. Beyond that, it's extremely easy and very tasty - enjoy!
