This Old Fashioned Goulash recipe from My Incredible Recipes is one of those meals that everyone always loves! It’s beefy, cheesy and filled with pasta goodness. It’s the ultimate comfort food that a hungry family will gobble right up!
Have you ever tried American Goulash before?
OMG it’s probably my most favorite meal to prepare!
I completely ADORE pasta in pretty much any shape or form as it is ????
I grew up in the Mid-West where old fashioned goulash was a staple. My mom made it all the time growing up, and it was something that she grew up with as well. It is one of those recipes that just keeps getting made generation after generation. Kind of like the homemade brownies recipe that I have had memorized since I was 8 years old.
My grandma’s old fashioned goulash recipe (we also interchangeably called it Johnny Marzetti, but it’s also known as American goulash or American Chop Suey) was one of the signature dishes of my childhood.
