Hungarian goulash is more like a beef stew served alongside egg noodles and pickled vegetables. American goulash is like a fancy, more adult beefaroni. And I love it! Seasoned ground beef ...

Goulash began as a humble soup-stew, cooked over an open fire by Hungarian herdsmen. The addition of refined varieties of paprika from ground red chilies made the dish an international staple.

Simmer 45 minutes or until meat is tender. Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package directions; drain. Spoon goulash over noodles; spoon sour cream on top. Sprinkle with chives.
