When I think of Fall, I think of comfort food. How about you?! I am often reminded of my gramma’s kitchen and all the wonderful things she made with love. I loved the food that came out of her kitchen. The many great memories – from the wonderful smells of the food, to watching the way my gramma cooked without measuring, to tasting dishes that were always seasoned to perfection … and many times, getting chased out of the kitchen because it became our playground while she was cooking! 😉 I can only hope that one of these days, my own children and grandchildren will look at me and my kitchen with those same fond memories. Do you have a favorite childhood food? One of my favorites would definitely be goulash!
Although I’m sure this is different from Gramma’s version, it’s still so comforting and delicious! My family really enjoys this One Pot Goulash – and I love that it’s an easy, one pot meal! That means less dishes to clean later. What cook doesn’t love that? Plus, this recipe makes a lot! It’ll almost feed an army of hungry people!
We usually enjoy this dish with a side salad and garlic bread! I hope your family enjoys this One Pot Goulash as much as mine!

Oh, and one more thing before we get to the recipe … this One Pot Goulash makes an awesome Halloween dinner! Plus, it’s kinda fun to call it “ghoul-ash” … I’m just saying.

your grandmother is spinning in her grave…..this is sooo wrong
Your photos are just spectacular. I'm sure your goulash tastes as good as it looks.
Great goulash recipe! My boyfriend and I love it and we've added it into our meal plan every couple of weeks. Thanks for sharing!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Lindsay!
In New England we call this American Chop Suey. One of my all time favorite comfort foods…
This looks really good…..I have always loved goulash. I live alone and when I finish the chicken stew I have in the refrigerator I will make this goulash……or maybe I will freeze some of the Chicken stew…..hmmmm so many decisions….lol
This recipe makes a lot!! You could halve it if you didn't want so much leftover 🙂
What is the "tomato sauce"? In Australia, tomato sauce = ketchup, and I don't think that is what you are using in this recipe. My guess would be canned chopped tomatoes, only maybe puréed?
Hi Vivienne …. In the States, tomato sauce comes in a 8 oz, 15-16 oz or 29 oz. cans. It is basically pureed tomatoes. Here is a link with a picture that shows you what we buy here for comparison – I hope it helps 🙂

Tried this recipe tonight and it was delicious. My very picky husband loved it. Baked some cornbread to eat with it and it was perfect. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
This looks so delicious! I've never had goulash before! Enjoy your SITS day.
This looks so awesome..now I'm starving…ugh. Guess I'll have to go make what you just showed me… 🙂
(YAY!) Visiting from SITS – happy SITS day girl!
Yum! This looks similar to something I make with my leftover spaghetti sauce. The kids love it and I love having everything in one bowl!
This looks like the goulash that my dad made when I was growing up. He doesn't remember the recipe anymore so I have nothing to start with. I'll have to try this recipe! Over from SITS.
