Southern American Goulash

One Pot Pasta

​I love good 'ole comfort foods. Growing up my mama made comfort foods nightly. One of my very favorites is good 'ole southern goulash. I have changed mine up over the years to various different ways to make.  The nice thing about hamburger dishes or casseroles is the ability to switch it up occasionally.

The recipe below is for simple, quick and easy goulash. It is great with Sweet Yellow Cornbread!
