Goulash

Submitted by Marney

"Hungarian beef stew, comforting and warming. All my husbands friend flock around in the fall when I make this. I prefer to omit the potatoes and serve over noodles."

I leave out the potatoes too and I LOVE this recipe! It reminds me of the Goulash I had in Southern Germany. I like it best served over rice but this time I think I'll try it over Spaetzel. Thanks for the great recipe!
