J.’s Favorite Goulash

February 17, 2008

My friend Sharon, who inspires me with her own meal planning, had made this goulash recipe successfully for her family and recommended it to me. It was an instant hit with J., and it’s great to make for a crowd since you prep it in the morning and then just let it cook all day. I am not much of a stew person, but even I enjoy this dish on a cold day.

J.’s Favorite Goulash
Adapted from Hungarian Goulash in Fix-It and Forget-It

2 lbs. beef stew meat, in 1-2 inch pieces
1 large onion, sliced
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 c. ketchup (reduced sugar works fine)
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
2 tsp. Hungarian sweet paprika
1 tsp. Hungarian hot paprika
1/2 tsp. dried mustard
1 c. vegetable broth
2 8-oz. packages fresh mushrooms, sliced (I like baby bellas)

Place meat in a lined slow cooker, making sure it is evenly distributed across the bottom of the crock. Layer remaining items on top — with a final layer of mushrooms covering it all — making sure to distribute the spices evenly.

Cover. Cook on LOW 8 hours.

Using a slotted spoon, remove meat and vegetables to a serving bowl. Then ladle liquid into a fat separator and serve the strained gravy on the side.
