Goulash is a beef stew filled with vegetables and heavily seasoned with Hungarian paprika. It is similar to chili in many ways, but the seasonings give it a different taste. You can make it into a soup by adding more liquid, but I prefer a stew version with a thicker sauce. I paired this with rice, but you can also add pasta to this or serve it with mashed potatoes. I opted for a dairy free version, but serving with some sour cream would go nicely for a creamier consistency.
This meal was so comforting and delicious on a cold winter day. I'm excited to make it again! For more recipes, follow my Instagram @tikofoods

That’s not a gulàš. You got not the slightest idea about a real guláš.
This is Americanized terribly. My husband is Czech and cooks fantastic but when he came to the states in 99 he told me he couldn’t believe what people here call “gulas” . My aunt used to make something that looks similar to this recipe. We called it “everything stew”. My husbands gulas is amazing.
