Crock Pot Hungarian Beef Goulash
I had been searching for a good goulash recipe for quite some time, and finally made my own from bits of several others. No potatoes in this one (my crock-pot usually doesn't get them tender enough). It will need salt at the end or at the table - i cook with very little salt and add it at the end because many of my friends need low-sodium food. My so has been telling people 'it was good goulash' for days since i made it. Enjoy!!
