This Crock Pot Hungarian Goulash is absolutely delicious and a real favorite at my house. It’s easy to put together and the long slow cooking tenderizes the beef and melds all the flavors together.
Now every Hungarian has their own “authentic” goulash recipe. This recipe may or may not come close to what your goulash should be.
That being said, goulash is a “peasant food” and in peasant food anything goes. Basically just getting good food on the table as best you can!
