Five Minute Goulash from Lima
"This recipe comes from a cookbook I inherited from my beloved mother. "The Fast Gourmet Cookbook", author Poppy Cannon. Copyright 1964. Ms. Cannon is a big fan of canned beef gravy and it really works...especially with the spices. I sometimes add mushrooms...yummy. Easy and delicious Hungarian fare that is delightful over wide egg noodles, complemented by salad and french bread."

It's starting to get cold at night and this was the perfect supper the other night when the rain hitting the windowpanes and the dogs were hiding from the thunder. I bought a kilo of what my mother would call "a nice piece meat" and cut it into bite size pieces. I upped the onions to a little more than a cup (I just chopped up a huge onion, didn't measure). Instead of beef gravy I just used some beef broth I had made myself. I'm Hungarian on my father's side and have paprika running in my veins, so I used some precious Szeged paprika a friend brought me back from a trip to Hungary. I served this on dumplings, and we had a cozy, yummy supper. Thanks so much for posting, this was perfect!

I am now a full-time student working toward a degree in speech pathology/audiology. Prior to returning to school I was a "domestic engineer" with no children...just a wonderful husband and 2 cats. We enjoy trying to eat very healthful foods with an emphasis on low-fat items. Baking is one of my favorite pastimes, especially cookies. Rather unfortunate for my hub because he has to be mindful of his weight, but gives me extra impetus to focus on filling, satisfying, and nutritionally well-rounded meals.
Thanks to being members of the YMCA I stay very physically active and have recently become an avid fan of yoga. Flylady.net is a site I thoroughly enjoy for housekeeping "support" and heartwarming stories.
