#goulash
dinosaur goulash turns 3 today
by the way, for those that have asked: the name, inspired by william s. burroughs’ (and the dadaist’s) cut up method, came from random words in emails i had written the week i started this tumblr. no deeper meaning at all.

Last night I made goulash from the 1971 edition of Better Homes and Gardens Good Food on a Budget.
My gramma used to make us goulash, but I’d never made it for myself. Plus I spent the better part of the last 20 years being a vegetarian, so now I’m ready to revisit some comfort foods of my childhood.
This one was a winner. Both my kids loved it and have already fought over who gets the leftovers. This was easy, fairly cheap, and super comforting. I did make one kinda big change by using ground hamburger (and no added shortening) instead of cubed chuck, but this was how my gramma always made it. Otherwise I pretty much followed the recipe, but only simmered it for maybe 20-30 minutes once the sauce mixture was combined. There’s really no reason to let it go 1-2 hours. I will be making it again, 10 out of 10.
