Everything but the kitchen sink- Cheap and Easy Goulash Recipe

Updated: Jul 6, 2021

Goulash is defined as a soup of meat and vegetables usually seasoned with paprika and other spices. I say this because what I make and call goulash now as an adult is very different from the goulash my mother made and served me as a child.


Goulash, Slumgullion, American Chop Suey are all the same dish

the “Everything but the kitchen sink” dish in my opinion.

You take your protein, whatever veggies you have canned, frozen or fresh throw it in a pot of tomato sauce and boom you have a meal and you’ve cleaned out your pantry or cupboard Win Win. Granted the more additions I add the less likely my picky eaters will eat it so I like to keep it very basic. If your kids (and husband) will eat things like Lima or kidney beans or canned corn throw it in there it will taste Delicious!



The recipe I use for Goulash is a variation of the recipe Mr. Wilson grew up eating, I’ve substituted a few things, added a pinch of this and a sprinkle of that but ultimately it’s the same meal he grew up eating on a nearly weekly basis because it was so inexpensive but so filling, so its now one of our weekly staples because it is still so inexpensive and still so filling.


So like I said this recipe is so simple to make substitutions or additions too, let me know what you added in the comments section or DM me on Instagram!
