That looks like a wooden spoon to me whoever commented about a mental spoon. Course the sound does grate your nerves

[@JustCookingwiththeGuys]

@@rogerbrendabowman4808 I didn’t realize it was that loud 😬

In Ireland all beef is grass feed, grass grows in Ireland for between 10-11 months per year.

Boy, I could really dive head first into that! Looks really good. Take care Pat in New Jersey.

Holy Cow that's a lot of tomato paste. YIKES! No beef broth, tomato juice or kidney beans? Not much seasoning either but that is a really small batch. My grandma put chili powder, cumin and paprika in hers along with lots of black pepper some salt and a little bit of brown sugar to mellow out the tomatoes. This does look good and it's a quick simple version easy enough to bump up the spices to taste.

I make it too and know the recipe by heart. My sister loved it and still asks me to make it when I visit her from Florida. She is up north. I have always called it American Goulash. But recently I learned its vintage name called Hoover Stew. It is a recipe that was born out of the Depression era. Interestingly it is a cheap comfort food that filled many bellies back then and kept many people from total starvation.

[@jusssayin480]

I don't know. The recipes I've seen for Hoover Stew are not the same as Goulash.

[@williamsmith3960]

Great video will be making some of that

[@jojorey6886]

I’ve always though of that dish as American Chop Suey. Northeast.

[@JustCookingwiththeGuys]

@@jojorey6886 another good name! I think it’s interesting how a dish can have different names region by region. Thanks for watching and sharing.

That’s exactly how my mom made it. Yummo. Great job on your video.

That.ain’t.no.goulash!

[@JustCookingwiththeGuys]

@@marianparoo1544 you don’t use ain’t and no together 😬

[@littlejohnny4470]

That looks pretty good! The one thing I would have done, is to add the pasta sooner, so it could cook in the sauce for a few minutes and absorb that flavor.
I'm looking forward to trying this. Thanks!

[@JustCookingwiththeGuys]

@@littlejohnny4470 good idea. Thanks for watching

[@yogizorch]

That's one of my favorite comfort foods. I make mine pretty plain with just the ground beef, onion, diced tomatoes and tomato sauce instead of paste. I add a cheese sauce to the leftover elbow macaroni. I let everyone season theirs up the way they want it. I like red pepper flakes in mine.

[@JustCookingwiththeGuys]

@@yogizorch sounds good. Thanks for watching!

[@StevesSlideandJazz]

Its called “skillet mac”! Not goulash!!

[@JustCookingwiththeGuys]

@@StevesSlideandJazz not when I was growing up 😬

[@Pcytripper]

My granny would either call it Goulash or Hobo Stew. So the name changes, but the basic dish is the same.

[@jau2552]

My mom made it just like this. We called it goulash.

[@JustCookingwiththeGuys]

@@jau2552 many names, still good!

[@deannaduncan1775]

Just because you think it doesn't make it right
