It’s getting cold outside. And that means it’s time for stick-to-your-ribs good food. Like Fat Johnny’s goulash. Simple ingredients. Easy to prepare. And delicious results. And I do mean delicious. Make a double batch. You’ll love it so much you won’t even notice how cold it is. This is the tastiest goulash I’ve ever had. I’ll never need a recipe for any other kind.
Don’t Mess With Perfection
I almost changed a few things when I made this. Like substituting a pound of Italian sausage for some of the ground beef. Like maybe using some different pasta. Wisely, my wife talked me out of messing with perfection and I followed the recipe to a ‘T’. I admit it, she was right. This time. (Don’t tell her I said that!)
This recipe comes from Chez John, aka Fat Johnny. Check out Chez John’s blog. It’s full of fantastic dishes like his Fat Johnny’s goulash plus countless many, many others. Heck, it’s too cold to go outside, best sit inside where it’s warm and look at food porn!
Don’t let the final simmer go too long. You want the pasta to just be done.
