Beef Goulash

Submitted by Southern Bell

"I really like this recipe because it is very tasty. I found in the American Heart Association Cookbook some time ago. I have made changes to it according to our taste. I also used regular tomatoes, crushed and 2 cloves of garlic and fresh herbs to taste as I grow a lot of different herbs year round. I omitted the ketchup and used 1 cup of Hunts tomato sauce in a can. I have forgotten what size can I used but it was a regular size can this makes it very good. Sometimes I use Italian seasoning to taste we really like the taste of it and it is fresh to. I also use gound round."

This is a very good, basic recipe for beef goulash. It got the 'thumbs up' from my kids. It tasted even better for leftovers the next day. I opted to use the 1 cup of tomato sauce instead of the ketchup. Also, I did not include the mushrooms (since I'm the only one in my family who likes them). This recipe was easy, economical and good-tasting. Thank you! ~Made for My-3-Chefs 2008~
