What Is Beef Goulash?

Beef Goulash is a classic comfort dish inspired by traditional European goulash recipes.

While traditional Hungarian goulash is usually a slow-cooked meat stew with paprika, the American version often combines ground beef, tomatoes, and pasta into a simple one-pot meal.

This homestyle version keeps the familiar flavors while making it easy enough for everyday cooking.
