**Update.. this recipe has received so many hits from being featured on all free casseroles I decided to update the recipe and photo that post is here**



so i think i might have fibbed to you big time when i told you there was only a few things i would eat when i was a kid.. i didn't add spaghetti and meatballs which i will share that recipe for on sunday and  my fav.. goulash.. granted i think its safe to say mostly anything i did eat was made with hamburger or pastas.. but i neglected to mention a few when i discussed how picky i was as a child.. but one of my all time favorite is goulash.. one my fondest memories is being in brianhead skiing and my mom made goulash and the lid to the pepper came off when she was seasoning the goulosh and it as soo good and peppery it was very cold outside and we were extremely tired from skiing all day.. but i think it was one of the best meals ever.. and to this day i douse my goulash with a ton of fresh ground pepper.. goulash is the simplest thing in the world to make!! wam bam thank you mam kinda meal.. definitely a under 30 minute meal..
