Hungarian Goulash with Ketchup

Hungarian Goulash with Ketchup slow-cooks tender beef chuck with sweet paprika, onion, and a tangy blend of ketchup, Worcestershire, and dry mustard for a rich, slightly sweet sauce. It’s cozy and robust, perfect for serving over noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice on a chilly evening. The long simmer yields melt-in-your-mouth meat and deep, paprika-forward flavor.

  1. 1

    Put the beef in a slow cooker and top it with the onion. In a medium bowl, mix 1 cup water, ketchup, Worcestershire, brown sugar, salt, paprika, and mustard. Pour this mixture over the beef and onion.

  2. 2

    Cover and cook on Low until the meat is tender, 9 to 10 hours.

  3. 3

    Combine the remaining 1/4 cup water with the flour in a small bowl to make a paste; stir it into the goulash. Cook on High until the sauce thickens, 10 to 15 minutes.
