Simple & Delicious Bison Goulash

Feb 27, 2023

By Greg

This simple and easy Goulash recipe is a favorite tradition from my childhood. I was always delighted whenever mom would make this. My grown sons often request this when they visit the ranch. I have passed the recipe on to them. I hope they pass it on someday.

Mom always used macaroni, but I now use a variety of different shapes of pasta that are currently available.

Somewhere along the line, my brother and I started seasoning with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. This adds a distinct flavor that is still our favorite combination of seasoning. My sons have picked up on this now! We won’t even attempt t prepare until we ensure we have plenty of Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce on hand! My wife, however, prefers to add mozzarella cheese which gives it more of an Italian flavor. Either way, this is a simple and delicious recipe!

This recipe is adapted from what my mother made. We now substitute Authentic American Bison for ground beef. Macaroni works well, but you may use your favorite pasta shape.
