Margaret Lee's Easy Beef Goulash

This is a recipe I got from my boyfriend's mother when I was 16! Every time she made it for dinner, I would find an excuse to hang around. I know it is overly simplistic, but it is comfort food to the max! I have made it in the slow cooker as well. After all these years, I still enjoy this every now and then.
