Cold weather means comfort food and this right here is a big time comfort food. Slow cooker Hungarian beef that’s so tender it falls apart and soooo tasty. I love paprika, and this right here has the right amount of paprika. Nothing fancy, but it hits the spot. Thankfully this recipe makes a nice big batch.
The Keys To Success
Two things that I think are important about this slow cooker Hungarian beef. First, the sauce. I could seriously drink it up with a straw. It’s really flavorful. Second, sour cream. Don’t be shy with it. That’s just me, but that cool creaminess really pairs great with the meat and in my case, egg noodles.
Serve this on French bread, topped with a little onion, and served as sandwiches!
