Good goulash, made fast and easy. Frozen corn was used instead of hominy but will try the hominy the next time this is made. Thanks for posting. Made for Zaar Cookbook Tag

Good comfort food. This tastes really good, and is very filling, but I think what I liked best about this recipe is that I didn't have to dirty up every pot I own! :) The boys gave it a thumbs up for taste, and I gave it an even bigger thumbs up for ease and value. Great recipe.
