I’m so glad you all liked it! Best compliment to have a bunch of high schoolers enjoy it as well!

I made this recipe this week because it was on your weekly plan. Everybody gobbled it! Then the next day, my high school senior invited his friends over for lunch to eat the leftovers!

I understand your concern for only cooking for two! My American Goulash recipe can be easily halved to make 4 servings! Most of my recipes can always be cut in half, so if it makes too many servings I would suggest trying that!

I would love to try a meal plan here. However, I viewed the meal plan for this week and noticed a meal for 8 servings. We are a household of two? My struggle would be the steady stream of food and grocery shopping (it’s almost easier to have a family of eight !) that would be required to cook every night of the week. These beautiful one-pot meals you share look amazing!

For me, I end up with a freezer full of leftovers. Often, I end up having to throw some of those away as well because I am wanting something different.. How does one mange a meal every night for a house of two? I am going to give one of these weeks a try, tu any suggestions would be great!

I have made this goulash receipt so many times and it is always so good. This time I added some mixed vegetables in with it and I just know it’s going to be amazing.

Thanks for the question. Yes, bay leaves add flavor, but they stay tough and sharp, so i recommend removing them before serving to avoid choking or stomach irritation. Think of them like a cinnamon stick—good for flavor, not for eating!

Hi Alyssa,
I have always been told that when using Bay Leaves in recipes, you are to remove them before serving the food…because if a person were to consume a Bay Leaf it could cause serious stomach problems. Is this correct?

Very good. Lean hamburger doesn’t leave a tablespoon of grease, so I use 80% or 85%.
