Recipe: Tasty Becky's Beef Goulash

Becky's Beef Goulash. This is probably the same with this Hungarian beef goulash. So first things first, I make a old fashioned American style goulash. In this post, I will not be sharing a German Goulash recipe.

The word "goulash" in the recipe title is odd as well, as there is no paprika in it. I heard people refer to any sort of pasta/ground beef skillet meal as "goulash" when I was growing up, so I get that broader use of the term.
