Need your feedback: Is this goulash?
OK, we need people to chime in on this. Yoda made this dish and called it goulash. She said that growing up in San Diego, that is what it was called. Bee, from LifeDoneFree agreed with her. Around here, in the Midwest, goulash is a stew, or soup usually made with whatever is in the fridge. This dish is elbow noodles, tomatoes, carrot, celery, onion, basil, pepper, sage and either beef, or chicken. We can’t figure out if it is , or not, and we can’t figure out what to call it if it isn’t. If you don’t think it’s goulash, what would you call it?

Sounds like goulash to me. My mom would make at the end of the week. Whatever was leftover in the fridge went into it.
-
Your not helping. That’s what Grumpy said and this was intentional. LOL
-
😬 well it was usually hamburger, tomatoes, beans, macaroni, onion, garlic and spices. Yours does look fantastic and I’m not sure what is different except you definitely have a gourmet fashion.

- Hungarian Goulash, a robust beef and onion soup seasoned with Hungarian paprika and sometimes containing potatoes and/or carrots (more often made without vegetables though).
- American Goulash is old-fashioned goodness. It’s a simple dish consisting of ground beef and elbow macaroni in a tomato-based sauce. It’s classic American comfort food that also goes by the name “slumgullion”, Hamburger Goulash, or “American chop suey” among many others!
- See two different things, with everything from the week going in you can call it “Last Chance Stew”

I think we’ve got a winner!

No! I did one with Beef Roast and one with Chicken. Dad said Chicken Chow Sir and I ran with it. No such thing as beef chow sir and chow sir is made with ramen. I have to have a name for this dish.

Yep, that’s what I call goulash.
-
Made American Goulash for hubby this week, except I added whole kernal corn and spices. Makes for a fast meal at the end of a long work day.

Don’t forget the big squirt of ketchup!

Looks and sounds like Goulash to me. My mother made it a lot because because it was so economical to feed a family of six. She made it with ground beef, canned tomatoes, canned corn, canned green beans, canned red kidney beans and of course macaroni noodles.
-
Looks good whatever it is. In New Mexico, Goulash was a soupier dish, but you always had to add chili. Lol.
I love Darren’s name for it.
-
Goulash to me, is like chilli.. it may have started out as one thing, but has evolved into a plethora of “like dishes” with variants.
It’s like having house rules for Monopoly. Haha

Haha 😂

Thank you, all. I had no idea. Many folks I know call what Darren described as Last Chance Stew goulash. It must be a regional or social class thing Also, I had no idea that there was actually a dish named “American Goulash”. From the description given (another hat tip to Darren), the recipe is EXACTLY what Yoda made. I am a bit relieved. We’ve got a big batch in the freeze dryer that we are going to do in single serve pouches to use for bartering or selling. It’s nice to have a name to put on the label
Thanks all

Goulash or what we call Johnny marzetti

My relatives in Illinois made goulash with elbow macaroni ,hamburger tomato base, sour cream and cream of mushroom soup
-
Well… here in Michigan, never used Sour cream, or Cream of mushroom soup.
Hummmm 🤔
Slumagullian… I thought only my family called it that. Reminds me of the 70’s

Lol! Nailed it! Yes think 70’s I was craving it and tried to recreate it. Couldn’t remember the name of it though. Made a call to my dad and he sent me on a different path that some how in my mind became this. So the true Chef failed me and I created this.

I grew up in Great Lakes area. Goulash was pretty much the American macaroni, tomato, and ground beef dish. Maybe if you’re in a neighborhood with Hungarian roots, probably think of it as stew. The hot casserole type dishes popular up north ( need a “Tater Tot Hotdish” talk now.) Oddly, here in Texas, hardly anyone’s heard of it much less tried it. It’s pretty similar to Chili Mac honestly, just not spicey.
-
I grew up eating the Goulash that you described. The Tator Tot talk peeked my interest though . . .
😃
-
I can Freeze Dry the hash browns, not the tatter tots. In school I think I do remember tatter tots as a side? Maybe? It’s been a long time.

Tater Tot Hotdish is very much a Minnesota thing! It’s simple. Brown about a pound of ground beef with chopped onion, salt and pepper, add a can or 2 of cream of mushroom soup, can of corn, can green beans, ( or use frozen bag mixed veggies) and mix it up. Spread in pan and top it with package of tater tots, sprinkle cheddar cheese on it and bake. That’s the most basic- the one I grew up eating pretty often- always loved it as a kid.
