This sounded so good so I made it for supper today. I did add a couple of things that my family likes in this kind of dish: 2 celery ribs sliced and sauteed with the onion; lots of garlic powder in place of the garlic salt; and 2 tbsp. cider vinegar. This was so much like a dish my aunt used to make for me and my cousins called "skillet supper" and it brought back some halppy memories. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I know everyone else will like it as much as we did if they try it.

Everyone loved your goulash recipe. I did add 1/2 pound more of the meat, an extra teaspoon of garlic salt and chili powder both. I might add an extra 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes if I'm not serving this to young children as I like a little kick to my food. Made for New Kids On The Block 2009 tag game

This was super! Pretty dang close to what Grandma used to make. Just a couple of tweaks to consider: I used Italian Stewed Tomatoes & just cut up them into smaller pieces. I also added about 8 ounces of tomato sauce once everything was mixed together to "wet" it up a bit. Also, the Red Pepper Flakes are a MUST, in my opinion. Thanks for a great recipe. This one's a keeper!

I can't tell you how many times I've eaten this in my life. Only diffence in our famliy is that we added diced bell peppers to the mix. Tastes like home!

My mom made this as I was growing up, as well. Her special touch was to add a can of drained green beans. When I made it tonight, I added freshly grated cheddar before serving with a green salad. Inexpensive, easy and tasty! Thanks for jogging my memory on this one, CelebrationFL. (OT: I'm in Artisan Park)

We also made this often. We have 9 children in our family and mom use to put a can of pork and beans in it to make it go farther. I make it the same way for my children and they always want beans added!

I followed the recipe as written other then I don't buy garlic salt so I used garlic powder and some salt. I used Dreamfield pasta and it was only 13 ounces. We enjoyed this but thought it could use more seasoning. My family used more salt and pepper, hot sauce and parmesan cheese.

We loved this goulash. I increased the black pepper to about 1 1/2 teaspoons (to suit my family's preferences). But other than that, I stuck to the recipe as written. And I thought it was a very good meal. I think maybe next time I'll add about 1 tablespoon of dried oregano leaves though, as I think it would complement that dish well. Made for 2009 Fall Pick-A-Chef.

My hubby is a big goulash-lover, and this is another good example. I probably used about 12 ounces of pasta instead of the full 16 ounces; we like a higher ratio of meat to pasta.
