I adapted a traditional Hungarian goulash to make this casserole in my Crock Pot/slow cooker, which was a huge hit with my family. With a rich tomato base and loaded with chunks of beef and veggies, simply add rice or noodles to make a complete meal. This is fantastic to prepare the day before and reheat. This makes 8 LARGE servings (enough to satisfy my 3 strapping sons 3). Suitable for freezing for up to 3 months.
