Not to be confused with traditional Hungarian goulash that is a chunky beef stew, American goulash is a one pot macaroni dish made with mince. While it has similar elements (meat and paprika) the two are very different dishes. If you are looking for a cheap, easy, one pot meal that is ready in 30minutes this is one to try. This recipe makes 5 serves and leaves only one pot to wash.
