Do you have a favorite childhood dinner? Like that one dinner that you still crave to this day? Well, allow me to introduce you to MY favorite dinner growing up! This is Mom’s Hungarian Goulash. My Mom made some stellar things in the kitchen when I was a kid but this dinner TOPS THEM ALL!! This is a warm hug in a bowl and perfect for these cold winter days. It’s tender chunks of beef swimming in an amazing sauce that’s perfectly sweet with a hint of spice on top of egg noodles! What’s not to love about this one pot wonder?! I make it in the Instant Pot so it’s the perfect choice for a busy weeknight or those nights where you don’t want to put a ton of effort into dinner. You can make this in a skillet or your slow cooker as well. Serve with a nice green salad and a fun Aussie Shiraz or Zinfandel and enjoy!
