Goulash with Beef and Vegetables: A Hearty Stay-at-Home Meal

When I think of a hearty meal I can enjoy while staying at home, I think of my mother’s goulash with beef and vegetables. This dish is one of my family’s favorites, and it’s something I can easily make for my own family now that I’m a stay-at-home parent. Not only is it delicious, but it’s also easy to make and can be scaled up or down depending on how many people are eating.

My mother always made her goulash with beef, onions, red bell peppers, tomatoes, garlic, and potatoes. She would also add in some paprika and cumin to give it a nice smoky flavor. Over the years, I’ve made some changes to the recipe to make it even more flavorful. For example, I like to add in some fresh parsley at the end for an extra burst of flavor.

The best part about making this goulash is that it doesn’t take a lot of time or effort. All you need to do is brown the beef in a large pot with some oil. Once the beef has cooked through, you can add in the onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, garlic, potatoes, paprika and cumin. You then just have to let the dish simmer until all the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together nicely.

This goulash with beef and vegetables really is a great stay-at-home meal. It’s filling enough to feed a crowd and can be served with some crusty bread or rice on the side. Plus, you can make it ahead of time so that you don’t have to worry about cooking right before dinner time. It’s an all-around winner!
