Hungarian Goulash

This is one of my all time favorite meals even growing up.  I totally forgot about it to tell you the truth, so a few years back when my mom said she was making it for dinner I wanted to sprint over to her house so I could taste the amazing flavor of this dish.  So I asked for the recipe and I was in heaven, just an amazing taste of childhood.

Hungarian Goulash is a soup or stew that is seasoned with Paprika, your taste buds will thank me later.

2 LBS Cubed Stew Meat

1 Medium Onion, diced

1 Garlic Clove, Minced

4 Teaspoons Paprika

1 Teaspoon Dry Mustard

1/2 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
