There’s something profoundly comforting about a hearty bowl of old-fashioned goulash. For many, this dish evokes nostalgic memories of family gatherings, cozy kitchens, and the irresistible aroma of simmering stew. I first encountered this delightful meal at my grandmother’s house, where it was a staple for Sunday dinners. Her version of goulash was the kind that filled you up and warmed you from the inside out. Over the years, I’ve come to cherish this dish, not just for its flavor, but for the love and tradition that it represents.
