Grandma's Goulash

"I don't know where my grandma found this recipe but it is one of the family favorites! We always called it "Ketchup Stew." I know, it sounds weird, but it is truly the best stew I have ever had! Great for cold winter nights. Serve with a salad and buttered bread!"

  • In a large pan, season beef with garlic powder, salt and pepper and cook until browned.
  • Place in a large pot, adding water until meat is covered.
  • Add ketchup, paprika and onion, stirring until ketchup is dissolved.
  • Bring to a boil, then lower heat and cover.
  • Simmer for 45 minutes-1 hour, until meat is tender.
  • Remove meat from pot.
  • Add carrots to sauce, which should be thickening up a little and simmer, covered for 15 minutes.
  • Add potatoes and simmer for another 30-45 minutes until veggies are tender. (Can add more water if running low, but will need to add a bit more ketchup also.).
  • If needed, make a roux with cornstarch and water and thicken the sauce to your liking.

  • Enjoy!

I live in Parma, Ohio with my awesome boyfriend and love it! I work at a daycare with infants and have the best co-workers a girl could ask for. I love to read and cook, but prefer easy and fast meals during the week.
