One Pan Goulash

[ 6 ] April 20, 2012 |

One Pan Goulash

First, a disclaimer. I fully realize that this is not a traditional Hungarian goulash. It’s most definitely Americanized. I do believe this dish is called ‘American Chop Suey’ in some parts of the country.

One thing I am sure about is this is absolutely delicious.

And fast. And simple.

One pan, people. A pan, a cutting board and a knife is all you’ll have to clean up.  Don’t even worry about the dishes. They will be licked clean.

One more thing? I hid vegetables in the goulash. Yes, tomatoes are visible. But tomatoes are a fruit, no? I digress. I hid an entire zucchini in this here dish. My husband kids were none the wiser. Crafy, eh?

Step away from the Hamburger Helper, raid your pantry and whip this up tonight! I’m sure it will quickly become a regular in your dinner rotation.

    This is essentially what my family calls “Gabuck.”  I didn’t realize there was an actual name for it!  Going to have to forward it on to my mom :)

    ohmygosh!  This was SO yummy!  I served it when guests came, with a green salad and homemade artisan bread.   I doubled it, and was surprised to see that there was almost NO leftovers – it was that good!

    I made this tonight for my family. Let me tell you the last time my children (9,6,3) have eaten zucchini…The day before never. Sadly That goes for me too. This was delicious! So easy to put together, and very nice flavors. I’m thrilled that I have just enough for a lunch and a half this week :)
