Description

Hamburger and Macaroni! Others call it goulash or even American chop suey. Whatever you call it, it’s great for a midweek meal, and this vegan version is even better than the original!

    I know it happens, but please discourage people from calling a noodle dish goulash! Hungarian goulash (gulyás) is an aromatic chunky soup or stew rich in paprika, usually beef with potatoes and carrots. It has nothing in common with this besides being vaguely reddish.

    What you have here is much closer to a Cincinnati chili, a dish easily veganified.

    Goulash itself can be made with red beans. I can’t think of a vegan “meat substitute” that would work.

    Possibly it’s a geographic thing because this is almost exactly what my Irish grandmother served us as kids and called it goulash. This is akin to comfort food for us and I’m thrilled to make this later today…we’ll raise a glass in my Mem’s memory.

    With food having such an emotional pull for many of us, I’ve decided to pass on correcting folks when they call a familiar dish by a different name.

    I agree with Michael Tobis. I’d much rather rat a stew of beans and vegetables with good seasonings, than eat heavily promoted fake meat. Enough of the Gusto (or any other) fake meat. You shouldn’t be attaching the title ‘Chef’ to your name if you use that rubbish!

    Trying to get my omni kids to eat more vegan and they -loved- this. No fussy ingredients and quite cheap to make but flavourful too. Thank-you. I used Linda McCartney sausages deconstructed into little meatballs.

    You could use a healthier substitute for the vegan processed meat, something that works for you and your standards, and just be nice to the man that shared this fast, easy, tasty dish with everyone for free. You know, remember Thumper’s mother’s sage advice that we all learned as children? If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.
