  1. 4 cups onion to 1 tablespoon butter? How can there be enough butter to sauté that amount of onion?

  1. Holy Cow! Didn't have to change anything. Completely worth the time it takes to make this. The taste is similar to a Czech goulash I had recently at a European restaurant (but looks different). I will be making this frequently.
     
  2. Darn! this is good! DH came home from work and said "something sure smells good!" I didn't change a thing, I did cut the recipe in half and it worked great. Make sure and scrape up the meat pieces when sauteing the onions. I think some of the good flavor comes from that. This had just the right spices and I have had lots of Goulash over the years. I did swing by our local German store to pick up some rye bread to go with it. Awesome dish. A keeper. I'm putting this in my top 20 2008 cookbook. Thanks HollyGolighty for posting.
     
  3. The only change I made to this recipe was adding some carrots, this was a very tasty dish that resembles what I call "beef stew" the meat was very tender and there was plenty gravy so I served this over rice, thanks for the wonderful recipe!
