Quick Skillet Goulash
Dinner can hit the table in about 30 minutes with this easy and delicious Quick Skillet Goulash.
I’m hesitant to admit that my favorite kind of Goulash comes in a single serving tray and is microwaved. I know. Isn’t that terrible? The Stouffer’s brand. There is something about it that hits just the right spot.
Even as leftovers, the celery in this Skillet Goulash wasn’t mushy. I love that.

Fantastic. My husband never likes it when I make things similar to this (he calls it cafeteria food, I call it a recipe easy enough to handle with an 18 month old tugging at my apron). This recipe impressed him. I had plenty of leftovers to share with my in-laws, too. Thank you for taking the time to post delicious recipes!
Really, really good. I make stuff like this a lot, but this was different. The vinegar makes a big difference. So, so good. Thanks for posting it.
I'm glad to hear it turned out well samantha 🙂
Ali – we love this recipe. We have made it at least a dozen times. Its my favorite dinner!
