I give this 5 stars because my family thought it was good. I personally thought it was missing something. I wanted it to be spicier? or something else. I might search diff recipes to see how they differ. My brother in law said he thought it would be better over rice (we had it over buttered egg noodles). Thanks for the recipe and I am glad I tried it.

    My family just loves this recipe! This is the one meal that my twin three year olds scarf down with no complaints. They both just ate two whole bowls of it! It is a very inexpensive meal, as well - great for a family on a tight budget.

    I'm glad you posted this one. I've probably been making this recipe since the 70's, and it's hard to beat. I've tried more "authentic" recipes, but the family keeps asking for this one. I modify it just a bit now - using only 2 tbsp canola oil instead of shortening, and just one tsp of salt instead of two. Hungarian paprika is our favorite kind. I also like to use the pressure cooker, which improves the flavor.

    Excellent recipe! I browned the beef in butter, I added a bit less water, and threw in some green pepper and mushrooms. Instead of the flour & water as thickener, I used a dollup of sour cream. Fabulous!
