Who doesn't like a warm bowl of Old Fashioned Goulash?
I'm really not looking for an answer to that, but really...what's not to like?
This fast and easy one-pot wonder of noodles nestled in a
thick & meaty tomato sauce with little bits of tender onion is just a
big bowl of awesomeness. If you had a mind to, adding some red
or green bell pepper would be a great addition.
I like mine straight up, but my family enjoys topping
theirs with a handful of extra sharp cheddar cheese.
Add a nice chunk of warm crusty bread, and you have a
delicious meal your family will ask for again and again.
