Bayrischer Gulasch German Goulash Stew Crock Pot Or Oven
A firm favourite of mine when i lived in herford in west germany. This recipe comes from a german friend of mine who lives in bavaria, and is delicious served with sour cream, dumplings or noodles - oh yes, don't forget the crusty sourdough bread as well! although this is nice served with the above accompaniments, it is essentially a one pot meal which is sufficient to feed most hungry families. it can be cooked on the top of the stove or in a crock pot; the latter method is my favourite, especially when i am very busy or i need to go out!!
