Goulash, a simple, one-pot supper much like the one that showed up on our table—hearty, familiar, and made from what was on hand.

Somewhere between Old World stew and Italian-style baked pasta, American goulash found its permanent home on the American supper table. This casserole-style version, crowned with melted cheese and baked until bubbling around the edges, is the kind of meal that fed countless families after long workdays and school nights.
American goulash, sometimes referred to as slumgullion, likely owes its origin to Hungarian goulash. About the only thing the two dishes have in common is that they both contain meat and paprika.
