"My dad always made this for us when we were kids. It's close to the only thing he ever cooked. When I went to college I decided to try it and it was a disaster. I asked him for the right recipe and it turned out so wonderful."

I made this recipe and followed the instructions to the "T" and when I went to serve it, the goulash was so spicy that I couldn't even get my husband to eat it. I'm wondering if you meant "TSP." in the herbs that called for "TBSP". It wasn't edible and I had to throw it all away. I guess it would be great for a family who enjoys really spicy food but you might want to state that in the recipe.

Thanks for submitting! My dad cooked a similar meal when my mother had to work late and it's nearly the same. This and breakfast were his specialties. Both are gone now and I've been looking for the recipe to no avail. I've corrected what I think is a typo and I hope you don't mind. Thanks again!
