"When you think of Hungarian Goulash, do you think of something your mom used to make with elbow macaroni, ground beef and tomatoes? A lot of us here at H2H do. We wonder how this came to be because the real Hungarian Goulash is nothing like that. It's more of a beef stew with homemade dumplings. Much better. Ildiko grew up in Hungary and shares her family recipe with all of you so we'll never be confused about what goes into authentic Hungarian Goulash. Thanks, Ildiko!..."
