This was very yummy and easy to prepare. I totally ignored the salt amount (I know AR changed it from 2 tablespoons to 2 teaspoons, but still, that is WAY too much). I was fine with just a sprinkle of salt- the tomato paste has a lot of salt in it already. I'd salt to taste about an hour or so before you serve it. I used a mix of Spanish smoked paprika, and sweet Hungarian paprika (didn't want to use up all of my smoked paprika in one shot!). There was a nice hint of smoke. I only used one pound of meat- 3 lbs would have been way too much for us. This was a very flavorful and hearty dish.

This recipe is fantastic but it is NOT goulash! Goulash is a soup. However, this is so very tasty that I have to remember that people call things by different names. This is actually closer to Paprikas, which is very good also. The key is to use SMOKED paprika. Sometimes it is very hard to find. Regular paprika does not have the same flavor. You want to try and find Pimenton dulce as that is the sweet smoke paprika. Excellent recipe!

Fantastic. It does take very little in the way of prep time and the browning of the onion and meat make all the difference in the world! My mum brought home a tin of smoked paprika and asked me to make something with it - this was the perfect intro to a very exciting spice that I am very much looking forward to discovering more recipes. The only thing that I changed was that instead of rinsing the pan with water I used red wine. Absolutely delicious.

My family thought this was delicious. After about 6 hours in the slow cooker, the meat was perfect. I served mine over wide egg noodles. I did make a mistake though. I added tomato sauce instead of paste. I already had the sauce mixed in before I realized what I did so I mixed in a tomato paste. It was still good. What makes this really good is putting the sour cream on top and fresh parsley. I want to make this again using sweet paprika and serve over mashed potatoes. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

I'm only giving this 3 stars just because we didn't absolutely love the flavour. The meat was utterly tender, so that was great. I guess I don't like paprika enough to love this recipe, but I will use it again and change up the spices a bit.

My family really really enjoyed this. I thought it tasted great. Funny hubby said more salt and zing other then that, he'd like me to make it again....Me and the kids thought it was excellent. I ate it with out the noodles while everyone ate it with the noodles. Thanks for the recipe. It's a keeper.

My wife made this for my birthday, and we loved it! Reminded me of the goulash I used to eat in Germany. This one is getting printed out and put in her files so she can make it often for me!

I try not to use much salt in my cooking. I used 2 teaspoons. That seemed perfect and the finished goulash was fantastic. My husband loved it the first night and the second night we took the leftovers to our son's house. They loved the dish too. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

There are few things worse than too much salt in a dish. Perhaps the measurement should be in teaspoons instead of tablespoons. It's a shame, because otherwise, I think this would have been pretty good. Seriously, the goulash was so salty that it was inedible. I tried the usual remedies to no avail. I followed the recipe to the letter. I think this recipe is worth trying, just for the smoked paprika.
