Don’t forget goulash. Macaroni, ground beef and tomato sauce (and corn if you’ve got it).
Ha-ha...I also have the supplies to make goulash about 10 times..one of my fave comfort foods. I’ve never tried it with corn though!
Yes, yes, when I was at college, this was served as "AMERICAN GOULASH" and I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole, let alone call it goulash of ANY kind at all, though there ARE about 7 different kinds of making REAL HUNGARIAN GOULASH! This is some peculiar recipe with a ridiculous name!
For REAL beef Hungarian goulash, all you need is beef for stew, cans of tomato sauce, onions, REAL Hungarian paprika, and noodles or potatoes ( even canned ones will do nicely ) and time. Why "time"? BECAUSE YOU MUST NEVER EAT IT ON THE DAY YOU MAKE IT! :-)
And yes, I will tell anyone who wants to know it, the right way to make it.
What about slumgullion?
I was of the belief that the thing you describe was a Northern Midwest Great Lakes regional thing. Do you or the family member that taught you that recipe originate in that area?
