I never learned to make goulash – I only knew that it had pasta, ground beef and tomato stuffing, according to my mother’s memories of what her mother made. But she never made it, so I just made up my own way of preparing it, similar to how I made spaghetti with meat sauce, but with macaroni noodles.
Finally I ate real (real as in Americanized real, not Hungarian real) goulash at my in-laws’ house. I’ve been wanting to get my MIL’s recipe for a long time, because even though Dennis never says, “that’s not the way Mom used to make it,” I always wanted to cook his favorite dishes that he grew up with, and goulash was at the top of the list. His mother’s goulash is really, really good! After I enjoyed it at Easter, I asked her exactly what she put in it so I could cook it at home. I have never made a better goulash, and Den’s favorite dish is now one of my absolute favorites. We could eat it almost every week!

I add a can or two to mine .
Of Corn.
I would also add chopped green pepper
With the corn, all that does is add a filler which is a carbohydrate. So for diabetics, that canbe too many carb servings.
diced tomatoes instead of stewed
I have to have green peppers in it also I have to have green peppers in it also
Try adding Heinz 57 sauce small bottle and 1 tablespoon sugar taste just like my grandma made
I always add a can of chili beans to mine.
I like a can of corn and green pepper if I have them
Have tried many recipes,THIS IS THE BEST!
Always canned tomatoes never stewed
Corn does not go in goulash.
Why not?

I use original V8 juice after its been in the fridge
Instead of tomato juice, I add V8 juice because V8 juice has flavor. Been doing it for several years!! It really makes a difference!!!
I forgot, I also use stewed tomatoes because they also have more flavor than just plain tomatoes.
My kids call it prison food..they say that’s what the feed you…lol..but we love it
My mom used tomato soup instead of tomato juice and most definitely green peppers and in Maine this is called American chop suey.
