This was the PERFECT recipe for hungarian goulash for me since it tasted EXACTLY as I was hoping it to. Thank you for sharing such an easy and flavorful recipe! ;)

Made the Goulash this evening exactly as per your recipe and it was just great. Had some difficulty deciding how much water to add and understanding what 1/2t and 1/4t means in your instructions. Perhaps this is something I should know but I am just a total beginner cook. Anyway, all enjoyed very much the Goulash and your recipe is excellent. Liam Clancy Dublin, Ireland

This was very flavourful. I added some veal to it and used a spicy tomato. It was very easy to make. I found i was a little more like a stoganoff but it was great. I would make it again.

Just made this tonight and it was pretty good. I found the tomato taste a bit too strong, acidic. So I doctored it with a few pinches of sugar and 2 tspn powdered beef bouillon. My family enjoyed it! Next time, I'll probably use fewer tomatoes.
