Well, I'd rather not rate this recipe misleadingly called "Hungarian Goulash" - because it doesn't even resemble what we call "goulash" (or gulyas, to use the original Hungarian spelling) here in Hungary. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about: I'm 100% Hungarian! Although it _is_ true that gulyas has many variations, but this recipe is so far from it that it doesn't deserve the name. From the description, it might a very nice dish - but _not_ goulash/gulyas. It's like football and soccer - both are team sports, that's all the similarities. Sorry, folks! -
I cooked this and added new potatoes and more tomatoes. It tasted great and everyone loved it. -
Very good Hungarian Goulash recipe. Tasted wonderful.

This is a great recipe. We make it for out-of-town company pretty regularly during the cold months. I always double the diced tomatoes to reach a more diserable consistency. -
Gulyas is a soup in Hungary. The recipe here is a beef PÖRKÖLT which is a paprika based stew. If it is a Gulyás there should be celery or parsnip inside and cumin.
