Easy Family-Friendly Meals

Are your kids as busy as mine seem to be? I find myself running from dance class to gymnastics to basketball games to soccer several days a week. It is hard to figure out meals every night because we ar3e always on the go. What I end up going with are tried and true recipes that my family enjoys like this old-fashioned goulash recipe.

When feeding my family, it all comes down to using the best ingredients that I can find, which is why I use Red Gold Tomato products. Red Gold Tomatoes are a family-made product, family-owned for 75 years, this company is passionate about quality to help you turn everyday meals into delicious family favorites. All of their products are Non-GMO project verified/packed in non-BPA lined cans!

Red Gold Products are perfect for this hungarian goulash recipe.

You can feel good about feeding Red Gold products to your family.

The Red Gold Challenge

Red Gold stands behind their products and prides themselves on giving their consumers the highest-quality, freshest, best-tasting tomatoes. I was recently sent the Red Gold Challenge kit so I could see the difference between Red Gold Tomatoes and their competitors.

Product Quality Test

The challenge starts with cans of whole peeled tomatoes one from Red Gold and whole peeled tomatoes from their competitor.

I opened each can and spread them into identical white cutting trays.

I think you can see a difference right out of the can!

Next, I cut a whole tomato in half to compare the differences. I noticed that the Red Gold Tomatoes held their shape much better than the competition.

The difference is obvious, Red Gold produces a superior product.

What is Goulash?

Goulash is traditionally a Hungarian dish that is highly seasoned with paprika. A Hungarian goulash is typically a soup or stew of meat like our Instant Pot Hungarian Goulash.

Over the years it has been adapted to fit many different cuisines. An American Goulash typically uses ground beef and macaroni. This is the version that I have grown up on and that I make for my kids most often.

Goulash is made all in a single pot on the stove making it an excellent choice for those busy nights. This would also be a great recipe if you need to feed a lot of people. Or, if you don’t, the leftovers taste amazing the next day! And the one pot cleanup is just what this busy mom needs in her life! We love to eat this dish with a nice, light, healthy green salad!
