How to Make 3 Day Goulash

  1. In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, combine 8 cups of water and 1 packet (1.25 oz) of your favorite beef or vegetable soup mix. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  2. Add 2 lbs Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed. Boil for 8-10 minutes, or until slightly softened.
  3. Stir in 2 (28 oz) cans crushed tomatoes, 1 (16 oz) package egg noodles, 1 tsp dried paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. (Adjust seasonings to your taste)
  4. Bring the mixture back to a boil for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low, stir well, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked through and the potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Consider adding a bay leaf during simmering for extra depth of flavor (remove before serving).
  7. Serve hot. Enjoy the leftovers for two more days—the flavors deepen with time!
  8. Note: This recipe easily scales. Adjust the quantities of ingredients as needed for your desired number of servings.
