Awesome goulash, just like in Vienna. With leftovers, I add water and make goulash soup. It’s a staple in Austria with a big slice of country style bread.

I thought this dish had far too much paprika for my taste. DH ate it without a peep and thought it was good. So it averages outfit 3 stars for us.
