    I’ve never had Hungarian goulash before but I’ve seen so many beautiful photos of this dish.  I’m always drawn to the bright red color against the soft white noodles.  When I mentioned to my husband that we were going to have this for dinner he got a big smile on his face and said that he hasn’t had goulash since he was a kid.  I was glad that this was a crock-pot recipe because my Tuesdays and Thursdays are crazy with work, after school tutoring, and Zumba.

    I was excited to use my new Penzey’s Hungarian Paprika in this recipe.  It smelled amazing and had a vibrant red color to it.  When I got home from work the entire house smelled good.  The goulash was a reddish brown color and thickened easily when I added in the flour.  We spooned it over the egg noodles and served it with some dinner rolls.  The meat was super tender and the sauce was thick and flavorful.  It was a delicate combination that made my mouth water!
