Hungarian Beef Goulash

Goulash is a Scandinavian version of the stew in which the meat cooks in sauces flavored with paprika. Let the beef cook in the slow cooker for several hours so that the meat absorbs the flavors of this saucy stew. With a little variation and water to this recipe, you may also prepare goulash soup.
