Recipe #7 Hungarian Goulash

Picked this recipe because beef was on sale at Kroger and it is a wet cold winter day and requires a stew to bring some warmth to the day. I just love reading recipe hyperbole. "Men like it because of it's stick to the ribs qualities; women are intrigued by the use of spices, especially the paprika." mom over wrote the papika, I can't tell if she used more or less. Same thing with the tomato paste.

3lbs. Beef shoulder (cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes)
1T. Shortening
1T. Bon Appetit (celery salt, onion salt, garlic, msg.)
2 tsp. Salt
1/8 tsp. Garlic powder
1tsp. Black pepper
1T. Paprika
1/2 cup tomato paste
1 cup water
3 slices bacon
3 medium onions
3 medium potatoes
2 green peppers

Brown the beef on all sides in shortening. Combine seasonings and sprinkle over meat uses. Add tomato paste and water; stir. Lay bacon strips over top and cover and simmer 1 1/2 hours. Cut onions, potatoes and peppers into medium size pieces and add to meat. continue cooking until vegetables are tender. Makes about 3 quarts or 6 to 8 servings.

  1. Now THIS I remember as being yummy - probably why we didn't have it very often. Don't you long for the days when we would have been intrigued by paprika?
