Recipe Courtesy of Paula DeenServings: 6 servings (unless Bobby's eating, then only 3 servings)
Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 1 hour 35 min

1 tablespoon Paula Deen’s House Seasoning
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 bay leaves
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning

Turn off the heat, remove the bay leaves, and allow the mixture to sit about 30 minutes more before serving. Serve with garlic bread and a salad.

HOW MUCH GROUND BEEF?????
By Emily Nesheim on March 21, 2012
Hi Paula, I made this recipe yesterday and did exactly what it said to do but mine turned out soggy. Any suggestions?

I made Bobby's Goulash, it was great!

My Hubby loves this recipe. I make it about once per month. Instead of using macaroni noodles, I use Wacky Mac Veggie Spirals. My Hubby doesn't even notice that it's actually vegetable pasta. If you find the recipe to be salty, place a small whole raw peeled white potato in it during the 30 minute setting stage. Stir periodically during the 30 minutes. The white potato should draw out some of the salt. Throw out the potato prior to serving. I actually make sure every ingredient in the Paula Deen Season Salt and the Paula Deen House Seasoning is in my dish (i.e., I make my own of both of these, and I season to taste). Instead of using "diced tomatoes," I use Hunts Rosemary & Oregano Diced Tomatoes.

Paula,
You deserve all the good tidings you can hold for bringing the joy of cooking back to a society that has lost how to sit around a family table and share wonderful food and great conversations.
I just want you to know that some of the people who will critisize you for cooking with full flavor while having diabetis are just jealous and greedy because they can't use your fame and face on their posters.
Just stay true to yourself, and love what you are doing on your show, sharing fun and flavors and friends. You don't have to be what anyone thinks you should be or make yourself a banner for something that is not a way of enjoying life. Love what you do and do what you love. You will do what is necessary to keep yourself healthy and still enjoy cooking the way you love to cook. There are people who eat health food and jog 7 miles a day and have health problems. I want to enjoy my life, and good meals are one of my favorite ways of doing that. Food brings people together and food makes great memories and good friendships. Just be yourself and enjoy your success and keep those wonderful recipes coming. You make people want to get back in the kitchen because you make the recipes look easy and you have such fun when your creating them. Thank you for bringing the food and the family times back to the table. Remember " we can do no great things... only small things... with great love. Happy are those:) Mother Theresa and from my rebel side " I did a study of brotherhood and what I found was this..... he who turns the other cheek, gets hit with the other fist.
Love ya! Sandy

My goodness, i have been making gloulash for years. My one son doesn;t care for it cause he doesn;t like cooked tomatoes. I sometimes put corn in it as well and a lot of other spices. Really don;t see all the difference between Bobby;s and Paula;s. This is one of the most comforting foods u can make, and so effecient when u need something quick to fix for a meal. Add favorite bread a fruit salad or any salad. Volia U have a meal Hugs Rosie
By RoseMarie Herdman on January 31, 2012
Great meal. Need to use sweet onions next. It will remain in the menu book.
By Buddy Colby on January 16, 2012
This is my favorite recipe for making Goulash now. I always made it the traditional way like my Mother did until this recipe came along. Thank you Bobby and Paula for sharing this recipe.

WHAT IS PAULA DEEN'S HOUSE DRESSING AND SALT?
By viola roberts on January 06, 2012
Really good. I was trying to find a goulash recipe like my mother used to make when I was a kid. She put broken spaghetti in it instead of macaroni -- so that's what I did. My husband ate 3 bowls and said he liked it as well as spaghetti. I cut the recipe in half and still have lunch tomorrow for us both. It's a KEEPER!
By Suzanne on January 02, 2012
My daddy has made this same dish for years. The only thing different and you all may LOVE this is, he adds 8 oz. of velveeta cheese into it. It melts great and tastes great too. Enjoy!!!
By Terry Bowles on December 30, 2011
Fantastic recipe! It not only taste great, it's nice that it's all done in one pan!!!!
By Sheila on December 12, 2011
I use chopped green and red pepper and mushroom in my goulash along with onion and fresh garlic. I have never tried it with the soy sauce but it sounds like a good idea.

Are you suppose to add water?
By Laura on October 28, 2010
I have made the goulash. Actually I have every cookbook Paula has brought out, every book the boys have brought out, and even Cousin peggy’s two books. I have every magazine, managed to find every single one of them. And… I love these boys as they are about the same age of my boys. I love Paula. I have her bio and the one Michael wrote, have the Savannah book she brought out. so many gifts I have bought for christmas presents from her store. I even have bubba’s book, which I love. Thank you for everything. tutti harris

To Carol and Lois:
There are actually two versions of the Bobby’s Goulash. The one you printed from PaulaDeen.com is Paula’s original recipe. The boys made a few changes to “own” Bobby’s recipe, and that is the one listed here. But either make for a great dinner!
By Lisa the Admin on October 28, 2010
This will be one my “what’s for dinner tonight”...thank you for sharing this recipe, Bobby’s Goulash.

THANKS TO PAULA, AND THE SONS FOR SHARING ALL THESE YEARS THEIR RECIPES AND THEIR LIFE STORIES. I HAVE MADE A SIMILIAR RECIPE TO BOBBY’S GOULASH OVER THE MANY YEARS, BUT, OMIT THE MACORONI AND ADDED CANS OF VEG-ALL MIXED VEGTABLES DRAINED, EXTRA CAN OF WHOLE YELLOW CORN DRAINED, THEN ADDED SIMILIAR INGREDIENTS AS BOBBY’S. SERVED WITH SWEET CORNBREAD AND THAT’S A MEAL. THANKS FOR SHARING BOBBY’S VERSION, I’LL HAVE TO TRY IT TOO.
By MARTHA (BEASLEY) BELTON on October 27, 2010
I printed off this recipe some time ago from Paula’s site. I had to increase the macaroni because it was too soupy with only 1-1/2 cups. Now I see this recipe again, and it is different. This one calls for less time cooking macaroni and less time letting it set & different spices & more macaroni. What Gives????? Which one is the original.
By Carol Hanson on October 27, 2010
We also had a variation of this when I was growing up and it was also a cold weather/ birthday dish! Our neighbor, a mom of three (I was an only child) also often made this and I loved when I would be asked to stay for supper! Will have to try the spice additions in this recipe, thanks for the memories!

By GLORIA BROWN on October 27, 2010
This is a sure-bet recipe for my family. Their recipes are always no fail recipes, and I never have to tweak them to my taste. They are perfect as read, always! Thank you!
By Tangela on October 26, 2010
I’ve made this recipe when I saw it on one of Paula’s shows. Since I have two family members with celiac disease I have to use a gluten free pasta but it taste like regular pasta so I’m sure my dish is is like theirs. It is a good recipe and I remember my mom making something like this when I was young.
By Ann Brown on October 26, 2010
I love goulosh. Paula’s recipe is so similar to mine! I do put in plenty of seasoned pepper along with chili powder, but chili powder from Nepal (not regular chili powder), and it is sooo good!

By Juanita on October 26, 2010
Are you sure that you put uncooked elbow macaroni in the goulash. There does not seem to be enough liquid to cook the macaroni. I make a very similar dish & you can make it Italian or Mexican by adding italian seasoning or chili powder..love it!!
By Sherry Eason on October 26, 2010
I copied the “Bobby’s Goulash” recipe some time ago but had not tried it. Now I see it again but this time it does not call for the 3 cups of water. Some other minor differences but this one worries me. Which one is correct?
By Lois Frost on October 26, 2010
Between my mother and me we’ve been making something similar for over 40 years. My “recipe” doesn’t make this quantity, I don’t use any tomato sauce or soy sauce but I do put in a can of cheddar cheese soup. I use the diced tomatoes with basil, oregano, and garlic. Now with the many varieties of diced tomatoes available sometimes I go mexican. My kids always loved goulash night with garlic bread.

Bobby’s Goulash sounds like my mother’s American Chop Suey. Only difference, she used canned stewed tomatoes. I make this for my grandchildren when they visit, along with a green salad, they love it.
By Maureen Anderson on October 26, 2010
I love goulash, my mom made it when I was growing up and I in turn have made it for my kids. Easy and really good!!
