Pure "Comfort Food" at its best! This is the best Goulash I have ever tasted and is SO easy to prepare. I used 4 cloves of fresh minced garlic in the ground beef (step 1) and garlic powder in the sauce (step 3). I used co-jack cheese because I had it on hand; next time I will use mozzarella. Thanks Kelly for this keeper! JT'sMom

I love anything with corn in it! This is like spaghetti with macaroni noodles instead of spaghetti noodles, and corn mixed in. This is great! I used half the ground beef, onion, and green pepper so it would be a little less robust. I used only 1/2 tsp of oregano just because I'm not a big oregano fan. I might even try using the sauce minus corn for a spaghetti or lasagna sauce in the future - it's that good. I love the ooey gooey cheese on top of the steaming hot plate of the goulash. Like another reviewer I used some kind of jarred tomato/basil pasta sauce. You could probably use whatever sauce you like. I tried but could not find parmesan/romano sauce. Who cares! This was simply delicious! I will be craving this dish in the near future.
