Crock Pot Beef Goulash

A couple of years ago, I tried some goulash for the first time. I thought it was great so I tried my hand at making it. It took a bit of work but it turned out pretty good. This recipe sure makes it a lot easier to make.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour


• 1/2 Tsp. salt


• 1/2 Tsp. pepper


• 2 Lb stewing beef (cut into 2 inch pieces)


• 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil


• 2 Onions (sliced lengthwise into eighths)


• 2 Cloves garlic (minced)


• 3/4 Cup red wine


• 1 Cup bottled chili sauce


• 1- 28 Oz can diced tomatoes


• 1/4 Cup paprika

Combine flour, salt and pepper in crock pot. Add beef and toss to coat. In large skillet, heat 1 tbsp oil over medium-high heat. Brown seasoned meat in 4 batches and adding oil as necessary. Return meat to crock pot.

Add remaining oil to skillet; cook onions and garlic for 1 minute. Add wine and bring to boil, scraping up brown bits from bottom of pan. Pour over beef, then stir in chili sauce, tomatoes and paprika.

Cover and cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours or on High for 4 to 6 hours, until meat is tender. Serve with mashed potatoes or cooked noodles.

You could add 1/4 cup of sour cream to the pot just before serving but that's optional.
