6 cups of water? Is this a soup? Do you mean 6 oz? I don't understand your measurements. I just made soup. Perhaps I can try it again sometime.
DeleteYes, I followed the Wolfe's recipe as described. I was worried as I poured 6-cups of water into my 6 quart dutch oven (it came almost to the top of the pot). After letting it simmer 30min, then adding the mac-elbows I knew it would be OK. It turned out great!
DeleteI have looked for a goulash recipe from my you that my parents made. I used this recipe and just made a few adjustments. First, switch the meat to 1.5 80/20 ground meat, .5 sweet sausage, the water is spot on don't change. The other big difference was my parent's was spicy and a creamy texture. To accomplish this I add 1 tablesoon smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon paprika, .5 tablespoon cayenne pepper when adding water step. Followed recipe otherwise to the letter until end. After the elbow macaroony is cooked I add 1 cup sour cream, 1 cup shredded cheese and 1/4 cup franks. The recipe now is more of what I recall or the spicy Hungarian goulash. Again water and tomatoes are perfect. Enjoy either way.
DeleteI really like the sound of those changes!!
DeleteI made the changes mentioned above also, turned out great! I did add a whole tablespoon of cayenne, I love the heat. I did not add the cheese or franks, just included the paprika and sour cream, it is delicious!!
Deletewas really good! came out great!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it thank you for giving it a try!

ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteGreat Recipe thank you
ReplyDeleteWonderful recipe but i did not have a pot big enough to hold all plus 6 c water, so i mad at macaroni separately then added to sauce. Might be too dry, i will get a bigger pot next time.
ReplyDeleteI came across the video on YouTube last night and bookmarked this page so I could try the recipe. You think you could make the recipes easier to print? If it's here, I couldn't find it.
ReplyDeleteIf you right click on the recipe below the picture it will format and print. Thanks.
DeleteNo fucking way you made this recipe in the size pan you show! Trying to make this, had to change my pan twice!! No fucking way you put all these ingredients in the size pan you show!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty obvious I did. You ever thing your pan could be a different size than mine genius?
DeleteGoing to try this tonight. My mother who passed away in 2008, used to make this almost the same way. Thanks for posting this it will definitely remind me of my mother's.
ReplyDeletethis was my favorite dish as a kid its even better the next dayafter it was heated up
ReplyDeleteI made this, and it turned out fantastic. Only thing I did... as I like a little more flavor in mine, was used 4 cups beef broth and only 2 cups water. It gave it a richer flavor. Topped with a bit of cheese when done... was amazing. Thanks for this!
ReplyDeleteBest goulash since I was a kid. Have made it several times in a year. Won't quit, hell I'm 70 now, thanx!
ReplyDeleteI am making this, right now, for dinner. My kitchen smells amazing right now.
ReplyDeleteOne of the best I ever had, thanks for sharing your recipe, Fred Washington from Shawnee, Oklahoma
ReplyDeleteThank you Fred, glad you enjoyed it!
DeleteI veganized this recipe and it turned out great!! I was hesitant to cook the macaroni in the mix instead of doing it separately and was very pleased with the results. This is a wintertime favorite and with a bit of changing amounts of ingredients can be a soup.
ReplyDeleteJust made this! Was delicious, plan to make it regularly going forward. Thanks, Larry!
