Crock Pot Goulash
"Seems like everyone in the Midwest has a recipe for goulash that has nothing to do with the Hungarian kind. This was my mom's recipe, which I adapted for the crock pot after living in a apartment with an unruly oven that would set off the smoke alarm no matter how often I cleaned it. This is a very simple recipe, but it's my brother's favorite meal in the world (thus I make it for him every Christmas Eve). Good with garlic-cheese bread."

I'm learning... But if I double the recipe do I and time to the crock pot also? I'm not sure since everything is already cooked that's going in.

How much Worcestershire sauce did you use?

I'd like to beg to differ on a 'traditional' sauce. I am of Italian descent and Ragu is an insult to the tomato sauce world (and Italians!). It is merely watered-down ketchup. Buy a can of crushed tomatoes at Walmart for $0.99 or a can of diced for the same price if you want some texture. Or possibly spend a bit more for a jar of Classico, which I've used in a pinch or when I have felt a little lazy and didn't want the tiny bit of extra work. Don't cheapen a potentially good meal by ruining it with ketchup. LOL -
I did this recipe but I used fresh onion instead of onion powder and I added fresh mushrooms-i also added oregano and fresh garlic-I took it to a church potluck and it was a big success-I'll definitely do this again-so easy-yummmmy!

This was a good basic dish. I made this exactly as written and we all enjoyed it.

I loved this recipe. I used shells instead of elbows for starters. I seasoned my ground beef with chopped onion, worchestire sauce (Idk spelling ????), garlic, black pepper, and a dried herb seasoning. I also topped this delicious dish with an Italian style cheese(mozzarella, provolone, parmesan, romano, fontina, and asiago cheese. This is a keeper.

Hello there, Lisa! I made this for our Sunday dinner. There are two things I did different: substituting chopped onion for the onion powder ( didn't have any) and putting in a Tbsp of garlic powder. Other than that, it was the same. Thank you so much for the great dinner. I'll be making this again, because it was so easy!
