I grew up on this stuff and I still make it to this day, and I’m 58. Growing up on the family farm here in Ohio, mom would make a big pot of this and my brother and sisters would eat it until there was none left. Just watching this brings back memories of my late mother, may she Rest In Peace. Thank you for sharing this video. -Stephen, Ohio
Looks so wonderful! My mom made this a lot when we were growing up. Only difference is she didn't add celery or bell pepper. It was always great the next day after it had absorbed tomato juice all night. And, yep, bread and butter dipped in is fabulous!
My mother always used tomato juice to make goulash. She would cook the meat, onions, peppers, celery, seasonings, add uncooked pasta, and enough juice to cook the pasta. It was delicious. Yours looks yummy too.
Was raised on this goulash! And my mom called it goulash, still make it today for grand kids and myself!! Nothing better on a cold chilly night than a belly full of mom's goulash!!!
Deb Stephens I was raised on this goulash to Deb. And my children as well. It is a family favorite. And the leftovers taste even better LOL. Thank you so much for your comment and for taking the time to watch I really appreciate it. Be blessed!
My mom made this, and when my kids were little she took care of them on the days they were too ill to go to school. She would always make them goulash. They still have this great memory. She would cook the pasta in the same pot and she added ketchup, that was her secret ingredient.
mom passed away in Sept. and never could get her goulash right. it always turned out like spaghetti. now i know the secret. tomato juice. she loved burning food and tomato juice. the secret is out. and to all my surprise , she put a little corn in it. i don't usually say this, " Bless You", i would like to think mom used you to send this recipe . love dan t.
If you see this in November 2024, we have made this a couple of times and it is AWESOME!!!!!! I hated almost all food growing up in the 70s. We lived on a farm, my mom used to make it and this recipe is SPOT ON!!!! THANK YOU!!!!?❤❤❤
Thank you so much. I so appreciate your comment. My oldest son visited me for the day and he asked if I would make goulash. Always a winner with the family. It takes me back as well.
@@simplefoodsimplelife9632I am making this right now, and I must say, I LOVE your comments about salt, lol!!! And ground beef today is $8.99 a pound! THANK YOU AGAIN, I LOVE this! I hated almost everything when I was a kid, but I really liked this!!
This is almost the same way I make it, which I learned from my mom! My mom lives with me now she is 96. I agree about the salt also, people try to use less and lose part of the flavor! Thanks for the great video, I appreciate you 🌵✌🏼
I made some of this, slightly different. I did not add any celery and I added one can of spaghetti sauce and two cans of water. I let it simmer for half an hour then I added the dry macaroni and let it cook in the "sauce". It turned out fantastic. My mom used to make this with ground beef, I made mine with smoked sausage today. I did not add any salt. The sausages and the spaghetti sauce had enough salt. My mom also called it goulash. I know it is nothing like the real goulash. It was very inexpensive to make with ingredients I had on the shelf. We have leftovers for tomorrow as well. Great dinner idea that makes enough for leftovers. 👍 Thanks for sharing. 😊 🍽
GREAT tip on the tomato juice. Will definitely do that next time I make goulash... which is about once a week, and it freezes beautifully. I like to add a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the hamburg as it cooks. Adds a nice flavor.
Mulligan Farms thank you! And thanks for the suggestion. I will try the Worcestershire sauce next time I make this dish. I think you're going to really like this method. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I appreciate ya!
There are several other things we can use in place of the Worcestershire Sauce sich as Balsamic Vinegar .... Soy Sauce ...... Dark or Black Soy Sauce ...... Oyster Sauce.
The base of this is what I use for lots of meals. Mexican spices and rice added and baked with cheese on top is fantastic with corn chips. Add beans, bbq sauce and hot sauce for chili and have with corn bread. I add bbq sauce, worchestire sauce, ketchup, corn and mustard for sloppy joes which can be served on a bun. It is a great base for all kinds of things.
My husband loves what we call goulash, I have changed mine over the years I partially cook my pasta before adding and I add a can of pork and beans and sometimes do a tomato base flavour or alternate with mushroom flavour. It's a pot full of goodness and its relatively easy to make. Hmmm tomato juice I must try that next time, thx.
Millennial Mama Bear I’m sorry for your loss. I am 67 and this way of making goulash is one I grew up with. I hope you give it a try. Thanks so much for your comment and for taking the time to watch. I appreciate you. God Bless!
To make this truly one pot, I add enough fluid (we like V-8 instead of plain tomato juice) and just cook my pasta in my meat/ veggie/ tomato mixture. Easy peasy.
Looks great, try adding a tablespoon or two of vinegar, it gives the tomatoes a little acid snap, it gives the tomatoes a fresher taste. I've seen this made adding uncooked macaroni or shells right into the pot and let simmer for another twenty minutes or until macaroni is cooked.
I love this recipe! I live alone so I'll freeze individual meals for later. I use a combination of extra low fat ground beef and and equal amounts of ground turkey. When the turkey is fried along with the ground beef it completely takes on the flavor of the beef. No one will know the difference if you don't tell them.
My mom always made such great goulash, but I never had her recipe. Great idea for something different at our house. Make ahead and take camping!🤗 thank you!
this exactly like the goulash we had back in the day and no garlic because pretty much young kids are not real fond of garlic or a lot of onion so yes its family friendly thank you for this good ole recepie !!
Looks like a delicious Italian Hamburger Helper. I would add some oregano and basil, though, and serve it with some garlic bread and a garden salad with Italian dressing. I might add some spicy meatballs, too. Goulash is a Hungarian soup - somewhere between a soup and a stew. It was cooked out over an open fire in a cauldron that hung from a wooden tripod. Hungarians get that nice red color in their goulash using lots of paprika. (emphasis on the first syllable - always) Back in the 1960s, my mother bought a cookbook with something similar to this that they called goulash. Whoever wrote that cookbook confused four generations of Americans about what goulash is supposed to be. Goulash is a soup that would be prepared in the villages or in the fields for hungry people who worked hard in the open air all day. It is probably closest to an American cowboy stew, but with several tablespoons of Hungarian paprika.
Except, I don't like Hamburger Helper.....too mushy & it has too many ingredients, with probably too much salt. But, I get your point.& If you add the Italian spices & garlic bread, etc., then you're making it an Italian something, & this video is just plain old American real people food; you know, like we throw together what we have, & it turns out tasting good. Simple stuff during hard times.
My mom made this too only she did sprinkle some garlic powder in and also some chili powder maybe a tsp. We love this stuff to this day and it's always on our recipe rotation for the month at some point.
Looks great! I think it's the "Non-exotic" flavor of Goulash that makes it so clean tasting and delicious. It's a whole different flavor than Spaghetti Sauce. Which I also love.
Thank you. I agree. Goulash made this way is very simple and has a cleaner taste. You put it very well. Thanks for your comment. I appreciate your taking the time to chat.
@@simplefoodsimplelife9632 I'd never tasted it til I was invited to a friends house when I was in HS. I loved it immediately. I asked my mom why she never made it. (We are Italian decent) And she said we already had Pasta w/ Sunday Sauce every week, so this would be too close. I said "Oh Nooo it's not, it's totally different." I made it for her and she had to agree!
I grew up eating this and we called it hamburger hot dish. When I made it for my husband the first time he called it a pretty good mess. That was 44 years ago. We have some in the frig right now and he still calls it the mess!!
@ Mary Daley Your mom was misinformed and so were you. Someone wrote a cookbook many years ago and called it goulash. They confused four generations of Americans. It is not goulash and definitely not Hungarian Goulash. Not saying it isn't tasty.
@@simplefoodsimplelife9632 It was your mum's Goolash , God bless her , you ate it , enjoyed it and your mum was pleased to see her children eating good food no matter the name of it . Xxx
@@rickmorrow993 It doesnt matter if its authentic goulash as you know it or not , its what they were given as a child by their mothers , they treasure that as being their mothers goulash , dont you see its not important , its the memory of their mother that comes back when they hear the words or see the food . So if the mother was mis-informed over a name of a recipe , who cares ? How in the scheme of things does it matter if it is not authentic , it really doesnt . Your remark was a little to sharp , not nescessary . Sorry , i had to tell you , i realise you didnt really mean it to come across that way , some of us are very sensitive , and maybe I am overly so at times . I just feel hurt for others at times . Have to admit I am no Angel and can be too over the top also . Have a good day , Happy Days ,. Xxxx
Thanks only thing I would add is a little tomato paste after the meat browns. Just so happens I have all these ingredients ready to go now for my next meal!!! Yummmmm
My grandma used to make this for me and my cousins after school. She didnt put meat in it though bc she grew up during the depression era and to her meat in goulash was really fancy. Great memories.
She was everything to me. My mom worked 2nd shift so my grandma basically raised me. She had my mom late in life at 40 so she was already 58 when i was born. I would like to thank u for bringing back such a special memory.
Amber Jones God Bless your Grandma and God Bless you. As long as you remember her she lives on in you. It is I who should thank you Amber. Your story and devotion has blessed me immensely.
My mom made this all the time I used to put a spoonful of cheese whiz while it was supper hot and it melted into the sauce it was great . Now I jsut put parm cheese .
I add organic stewed tomatoes with a small chopped potato and organic macaroni to boil. No water. Brown organic hamburger with salt then add together after macaroni is done but not soggy put into bowls then eat with homemade organic bread n organic butter and dollop sour cream in the bowl. I have used onion in the hamburger but my husband became allergic to onion. My goulash is super amazing and I never dreamed I would like a potato in it. But don’t over cook nor under cook the potato. I’ve added V8 juice n is really good in this also.
What about adding sugar to make a sweet goulash? I had a sweet goulash when I was a kid (a few decades ago; I believe Clinton was in office) and I can't remember if it was sugar or what that made it sweet. It was pretty good.
I have never had a sweet goulash, however, I do know some folks like to add a little sugar to any dish with tomato. They say it takes down the acidity. It sounds rather good though. If you try it let me know. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. I appreciate ya!
Thank YOU...I HAVE MADE THIS 2 TIMES AND LOVED IT BOTH TIMES. THIS TIME I PRESSED THE BELL. I HOPE YOU HAVE SOME INSTA POT RECIPES.. LOVE YOUR COOKING......BETH FROM PA.😊🍷🍝💝⛪
Did u cook the pasta half way or real al dente, before adding it to the mixture? no mushy pasta...I might have commented on this video before, but my Mom used to make her version of goulash, which she used canned WHOLE peeled tomatoes....so I'd probably do that, & then when u used the masher, it would brake up the whole tomatoes. I used to make for my son what I called, 'spaghetti goulash'...hahaha. & I basically used the ingredients you used here, (Oh! I didn't use celery) but with spaghetti & I only used tomato paste with added water, & made a loose sauce. We both liked it, & IF there was any left over the next day, it got devoured then. Hahaha....
Susan Furnish I try never to over cook the pasta especially if I am adding it to sauce. I used To use whole tomatoes in my goulash also. Back in the day we didn’t have a whole lot of choices when it came to canned tomatoes lol. The reason I add celery is because I like the flavor and it adds a little crunch. Yours sounds delicious. Thank you for commenting and thank you for taking time to watch. I appreciate it so much. 👍
Mother called it slumgullion, too. She also called meatloaf “buffalo meat.” I didn’t figure it out for years and was always disappointed when she called it meatloaf because I had it in my head that buffalo meat was so much better. Mother put ketchup and Worcestershire sauce in her goulash.
Grew up poor,mom made this,tuna noodle casserole,and frozen pot pies. She would put whole stewed tomatoes in the "goulash" which I could not eat without vomiting. I was forced to sit at the table,one time until dawn the next day,until I ate it all...
I loved that “”” don’t be going crazzzzy about the salt your right old style grama cooking the best of the best cooking and taste has salt people so go crazy when you say salt haaaa
That is very much like my Mother made it. She would mix some sour creme or butter milk into it what ever She had on hand and cheese Than bake it. This would firm it up and made a crust on top that I loved. I have seen many Goulash videos and never seen anyone bake it .
You need a little better than bouillon and also some Worcestershire sauce that would set it off right. It's still an expensive but the taste brings it to a whole other level.
I didn't mean to be rude, I was just asking. My mother is 85 years old and she could make change from a penny! I know all about growing up poor, but our family believed that even if you are cooking food to eat it better taste good, because we were not allowed too waste food! I had pick vegetables on a farm as a child because it was free if you picked it yourself! I was no more than 7 or 8 years of age, and we had to pick a whole bushel before we were allowed to stop! I was just saying simple can be tasty with a little flavor! It's a southern thing we were taught from the beginning of learning how to cook! Once again I am sorry if I offended you! I was raised the right way including as the old folks would say home training!!😏🤔😔 God Bless you and yours!
Thanks Karen. I appreciate your apology. I was not offended. I welcome your comments. I enjoy having a good exchange of ideas. We all have different backgrounds and experiences. We all bring different things to the table...no pun intended. I appreciate your sharing your childhood with me.
My family isn't fond of cooked celery, so we add a can or 2 French green beans. And the change it up sometimes well add some milk and cheese to it. It's cheap and feeds a whole lot of people.
I think we all know that this is not Hungarian Goulash - get over it. This recipe goes by many names. In New England, we call it American Chop Suey. I love your videos Robin, keep them coming. I also made the Italian Beef - so far two for two delicious and easy.
Claire thanks so much for the encouragement. It means a lot. I'm glad you are enjoying the videos and have had good success. I hope to hear from you again. Have a blessed day.
Too much salt for my blood pressure. Canned tomatoes and tomato juice have salt in them. Do love the tomato juice addition. You can certainly tell that this video is a year old. Ground beef where I live in Virginia is $3.89 a pound and up!
My grandmother had a similar recipe from the depression that instead of ground beef had jimmy dean sausage and seasoned with some yellow mustard and Worcester sauce
I prefer it this way. Adding the macaroni without pre-cooking it gives the goulash a gummy, starchy mouth feel in my opinion. You may make it however you wish.

I add organic stewed tomatoes with a small chopped potato and organic macaroni to boil. No water. Brown organic hamburger with salt then add together after macaroni is done but not soggy put into bowls then eat with homemade organic bread n organic butter and dollop sour cream in the bowl. I have used onion in the hamburger but my husband became allergic to onion. My goulash is super amazing and I never dreamed I would like a potato in it. But don’t over cook nor under cook the potato. I’ve added V8 juice n is really good in this also.
Joyce Obeys your goulash sounds amazing. Thank you for sharing it with me. 👍
I cant wait to make this. It looks some yummy!!
U the only one that doesn't use stinky garlic that I can't stand thank you
Thanks David. I think garlic can be overrated. People seem to use it in everything.
Looks good
Thank you Michael.
A pinch of sugar. You are the chef.
This looks amazing.
Bee WOW'd by April Lee thank you!
My mom taught me to use a little chili sauce...makes all the difference !!!🙋 and serve w cornbread or garlic Texas toast.
What brand?
What about adding sugar to make a sweet goulash? I had a sweet goulash when I was a kid (a few decades ago; I believe Clinton was in office) and I can't remember if it was sugar or what that made it sweet. It was pretty good.
I have never had a sweet goulash, however, I do know some folks like to add a little sugar to any dish with tomato. They say it takes down the acidity. It sounds rather good though. If you try it let me know. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. I appreciate ya!
Wow where do you shop??? Everywhere I shop is so much higher
Colleen Beavers I usually check the Flipp app. And see where I can get the best buys in my area. I have Aldi, jewel, HyVee, Walmart and Fairway.
SIMPLE FOOD SIMPLE LIFE thank you 💕
Thank YOU...I HAVE MADE THIS 2 TIMES AND LOVED IT BOTH TIMES. THIS TIME I PRESSED THE BELL. I HOPE YOU HAVE SOME INSTA POT RECIPES.. LOVE YOUR COOKING......BETH FROM PA.😊🍷🍝💝⛪
Elizabeth Csir you’re very welcome. Thank you so much for your kind comment.❤️
Fantastic recipe! My tongue is still singing!
Did u cook the pasta half way or real al dente, before adding it to the mixture? no mushy pasta...I might have commented on this video before, but my Mom used to make her version of goulash, which she used canned WHOLE peeled tomatoes....so I'd probably do that, & then when u used the masher, it would brake up the whole tomatoes. I used to make for my son what I called, 'spaghetti goulash'...hahaha. & I basically used the ingredients you used here, (Oh! I didn't use celery) but with spaghetti & I only used tomato paste with added water, & made a loose sauce. We both liked it, & IF there was any left over the next day, it got devoured then. Hahaha....
Susan Furnish I try never to over cook the pasta especially if I am adding it to sauce. I used To use whole tomatoes in my goulash also. Back in the day we didn’t have a whole lot of choices when it came to canned tomatoes lol. The reason I add celery is because I like the flavor and it adds a little crunch. Yours sounds delicious. Thank you for commenting and thank you for taking time to watch. I appreciate it so much. 👍
I like ragu sgetti sauce, onion, burger, salt, pepper, bell pepper and I use penne. YUM!!!
Sounds great!
I grew up on this dish. My family called its slumgolian. Weird name, huh? Think I'll make this for dinner.
Carole Horton I did too. It’s an old standby. Thanks so much for your comment. I appreciate your taking the time to watch.
We called ham salad Slumgulion.
Mother called it slumgullion, too. She also called meatloaf “buffalo meat.” I didn’t figure it out for years and was always disappointed when she called it meatloaf because I had it in my head that buffalo meat was so much better. Mother put ketchup and Worcestershire sauce in her goulash.
Tried your recipe for goulash it turned out great
Florian Buzalski thank you so much. ❤️
My grandma made it this way but she also added corn an believe it or not pork an beans. It was so good.
Your grandma was a smart lady. She knew how to stretch a meal. Sounds delicious.
I make something similar but use ketchup instead of tomato juice, add 1-2 cans kidney beans, season w thyme. It's pretty good too.
Thanx.
07Giddyup thanks for stopping by 👍
What kind of cooking pot is that? The size seems perfect for my family of 4.
psykidellic the pot is by Wear Ever. I have had it for many years. Thanks for stopping. I appreciate it! 👍
A little basil and oregano makes the dish so good.
Grew up poor,mom made this,tuna noodle casserole,and frozen pot pies. She would put whole stewed tomatoes in the "goulash" which I could not eat without vomiting. I was forced to sit at the table,one time until dawn the next day,until I ate it all...
That was a little abusive & cruel.........I'm sorry.........
Looks yummers!
Cheers to Healing! Thank you 👍
That looks amazing!!
Ann Blogment thank you! It’s pretty tasty...a family favorite here. 👍
We call it American Chop Suey, and we add Worcestershire Sauce.
That is straight up the bomb!!
👍
I loved that “”” don’t be going crazzzzy about the salt your right old style grama cooking the best of the best cooking and taste has salt people so go crazy when you say salt haaaa
That is called American chop suey
(: Some people call it that and some call it "Goulash"!!!!! ... ☺
This is very good although i sprinkle dark red kidney beans over the serving on the plate for me it makes it super tasty
snikle1873 thank you and thanks for watching!
That Goulash looks very good. Thats another dish im going to add to my Autumn and winter season's. ☺it reminds me of my chili mac.
Joyce Boone thank you very much! It makes a great winter dish. I love chili Mac. 👍
That is very much like my Mother made it. She would mix some sour creme or butter milk into it what ever She had on hand and cheese Than bake it. This would firm it up and made a crust on top that I loved. I have seen many Goulash videos and never seen anyone bake it .
Jammers from North Dakota your mom’s goulash sounds delicious. Thanks for sharing with us.👍
this is a recipe i love.
Mayrene Powell thank you.
You need a little better than bouillon and also some Worcestershire sauce that would set it off right. It's still an expensive but the taste brings it to a whole other level.
Thank you Marianne!
I’m from Iowa, too; I see you posted here that you are from my state, may I ask, what part of the state do you call home?
Hello Leah! I live in the eastern part of the state.
Tomato juice and my vodka go way, way back but lately so many people using it in cooking.
2017 hamburger 1.99 a pound 2021 over 7 dollars a pound.
That’s very true WV591. I agree, everything is going up that’s for sure. Thanks so much for being here. I appreciate it.
I didn't mean to be rude, I was just asking. My mother is 85 years old and she could make change from a penny! I know all about growing up poor, but our family believed that even if you are cooking food to eat it better taste good, because we were not allowed too waste food! I had pick vegetables on a farm as a child because it was free if you picked it yourself! I was no more than 7 or 8 years of age, and we had to pick a whole bushel before we were allowed to stop! I was just saying simple can be tasty with a little flavor! It's a southern thing we were taught from the beginning of learning how to cook! Once again I am sorry if I offended you! I was raised the right way including as the old folks would say home training!!😏🤔😔 God Bless you and yours!
Thanks Karen. I appreciate your apology. I was not offended. I welcome your comments. I enjoy having a good exchange of ideas. We all have different backgrounds and experiences. We all bring different things to the table...no pun intended. I appreciate your sharing your childhood with me.
Known as "American Chop-suey" here in parts of New England.
In the Midwest its Hamburger Hotdish, or just Hotdish if times an issue and ya gotta be somewhere.
❤️
My family isn't fond of cooked celery, so we add a can or 2 French green beans. And the change it up sometimes well add some milk and cheese to it. It's cheap and feeds a whole lot of people.
Pamela Torres that is very creative. You’re right. It feeds a lot of people. Thanks for sharing! 👍
You need to add a couple tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce or even balsamic vinegar. It just takes it to the next level
Thank you Marianne! I never have balsamic but I do have Worcestershire sauce. I just might give it a try.
My family prefers the tomato juice taste better than tomato sauce.
Substitute Spicy V-8 instead of generic tomato juice.
Donnoha sounds delicious!
That is an excellent suggestion!
I think we all know that this is not Hungarian Goulash - get over it. This recipe goes by many names. In New England, we call it American Chop Suey. I love your videos Robin, keep them coming. I also made the Italian Beef - so far two for two delicious and easy.
Claire thanks so much for the encouragement. It means a lot. I'm glad you are enjoying the videos and have had good success. I hope to hear from you again. Have a blessed day.
What about using V8?
Roma Lafreniere V8 would be fine.
Roma Lafreniere I always use v8 w my goulash, and I add a little sugar. It’s soooo good!!
Jennifer VerStrat thanks for the tip!
Yep a little Jack and coke will get rid of the frog in your throat
Lol...sounds like a sure fire remedy.👍
LOL.
Too much salt for my blood pressure. Canned tomatoes and tomato juice have salt in them. Do love the tomato juice addition. You can certainly tell that this video is a year old. Ground beef where I live in Virginia is $3.89 a pound and up!
You are right. There should be enough salt in the juice. A few drops of hot sauce can jack up the taste w/o adding too much salt.
@@robotnik77 😀
My grandmother had a similar recipe from the depression that instead of ground beef had jimmy dean sausage and seasoned with some yellow mustard and Worcester sauce
Tara Tiara thank you...that sounds delicious! 👍
P.o
p.s. mom called it " Arkansas Spaghetti ". poor people food. we were poor. but ate good. thky dan t.
daniel teegarden we were poor too. Thanks for your comment. ❤️
Looks like a great recipe for overcooked pasta.
I love it this way, but I like it better using Hamburger Helper instead of tomato juice.
It looks great but I have a suggestion. You shouldn't hit the side of your pn with your utensils. The inside coating is enamel and can chip off,
joanne loughran thanks for your comment. 👍
I cook my macaroni in the goulash.
Thanks Kathy. I recently tried that but didn’t care for the texture. A little too starchy for my taste. I think it does work for a lot of people.
I use petite diced no salt added tomatoes
Looks like there is enough juice. Why don't you cook the macaroni in the pot?
I prefer it this way. Adding the macaroni without pre-cooking it gives the goulash a gummy, starchy mouth feel in my opinion. You may make it however you wish.
Looks like my chili. Same way I make chili minus chili powder
