Mom's Goulash Recipe


This is my favorite meal of all time!

I must have eaten this dish about 200 hundred times while growing up, and I could eat it again right now.

I'm pretty sure this dish has very little to do with traditional Hungarian goulash, but it just doesn't matter.

Serve this at your next family gathering. It's sure to get rave reviews. It MUST be served with milk, bread, and butter. :)

Thanks mom!
