Because goulash already has meat and veggies, it can be a meal in itself, but to make it more hearty, you can serve it over pasta. You also might want to put some bread on the side so you can sop up the sauces. You might also want to serve a salad on the side or as an appetizer.

Hungarian Goulash

Hungarian goulash can be traced back to the 9th century, when it was a meal popular with Hungarian shepherds. The name came from the word “gulyas”, which means herdsman, but it later morphed into gulyashus (Ghoulash meat or herdsman’s meat).

As the dish became more popular, people of all trades were quick to adopt it and variations were made. The meat, which was originally often taken from the sheep, could be substituted with pork, veal, or beef.

In modern times, goulash is enjoyed by families around the world. It's a popular dish in the United States, due to its delicious flavors and hearty ingredients. When your family sits down to enjoy goulash, they definitely won't leave the table hungry!

Now, let's check out the recipe for this easy goulash recipe. Many goulash recipes are on the more complicated side. This is fine when you have the time for it, but when you're a busy parent with lots to do you can't spend ages in the kitchen. With a recipe like this, dinner can be simple!
