I make chili without tomato soup too
Meant to say I make chili with tomato soup too
Wow this looks amazing! Did you do anything in particular for the jarred tomatoes?
Here in California and Mom would make a terrific goulash, she would put canned spinach in it, and I hated spinach, but it was still great. How about trading tomato paste for the tomato soup? When you said it tasted a little sweet, that didn’t sound so good. I bet your homegrown canned tomatoes are wonderful though
My east Texas grandmother use to make it with the same ingredients, she though used ketchup along with her garden tomatoes instead of the soup. She called it hamburger macaroni casserole. Goulash was either hungarian or a dish made from different cans of veggies mixed together with in our area and came about during the depression. I had no idea it was called goulash till I was grown with children, informed by my in laws who are yankees.
Looks delish🙂 What size is your skillet?
I just made this Goulag for dinner. And it was so good and easy to make. Thank you
Yes I love the Campbell's tomato soup,when making my stuffed peppers . Totally agree. Your recipe is called American chop suey in our family 😊 but definitely in the goulash family. Love it.
Looks delish. My Mom called this “noodletti” or WVU goulash! Haha
Looks good but my mom always added chili powder and hers was not as wet.
I use the soup too 😊
Great easy recipe!
Looks great. I love goulash. I grew up eating it and I still make it.
I'm glad he made the American Goulash there is an Hungarian Goulash which is more of a soup.
Ooh I do have to have make this! It looks so good! 😂
New subby here, the goulag won me over.
It was 88 in Billings Mt. This afternoon. Right now it's in the 60's.
It's especially hot this summer, and humidity yuk
Absolutely not on…… the tomato soup….🤣🙋🏼♂️
Thats the home cooking I remember & still cook this way,. I just nought my first cast iron double short handle frypan & I intend to use it for Home cooking like I remember. Making it today.
It turned out amazing, Because I cant eat manufactured bag or boxed dried pasta cause it causes me so much inflammation, I bought Home Made Pasta "Tortellini for this" & it was just amazing. I used old cheddar & fresh grated Parmesan I made enough for 3 days. My Dad made something similar. he just called it Noodles & ground beef but essentially the same thing. Thats what most of us Canadians call it but its the same thing. I like the tomato soup addition as well, my dad never did this that I remember, He used canned tomatoes & tomato juice,
So this cost me a total of $65 to make on account I bought the frypan. LOL
Beautiful spring day here in the South Pacific 15 degrees C. I would have enjoyed those fresh peppers in my salad today.
This is very close to what like to make and i call it chili mac. I just change out the bell peppers for some mex style mildly hot peppers. And change out some chili seasonings. I love it. I’m hailing from north western NC.
Watching from Australia and I will be doing that meal in the next few days, it looks great.
YUM‼️. Making this‼️ thanks
The weather has been just about perfect here in Atlanta. 80 for highs and 60 for lows. Im so glad summer is pretty much over.
The place is gone but 2:49 2:49 2:49
May I have some. I live in Bakersfield California USA
Canned soup sodium top high. 😢 perhaps a 8 oz can tomato sauce. 😊
Comfort in a bowl. 😊
When I was growing up we called that Slumgulian or Whatyagot Stew
It looks very great. The cheese makes a difference and the Worcestershire sauce. When I was younger and lived at home, mom would make that and I would call slop. I don’t call dad anymore Grady I love it. Good job thank you very much.
Awesome dish, here in Newfoundland we make it fairly similar, I personally add mushrooms. I guess no matter what you do to it, it is still derived from the Hungarian version. growing up we always called it macaroni and minced meat lol
Nice video,thankyou,your personality is refreshing from MASSACHUSETTS! 😊
We LOVE goulash! Looks delish!!
My granny was from the Tennessee smoky mountains . She cooked something like this but used tomato juice …soooo good
You’ve outdone yourself, looks superb 😅
Be so good over rice / with cornbread n sweet tea to drink
Wish I had "Smell-A-Vision!" A cornbread cake or a big slice of toasted sourdough.
Mmmmmm

My Dad used to make this when I was a kid and I made it for my family. A great satisfying meal that doesn't break the bank and you usually have lots of leftovers which are of course even tastier the next day.
