COWBOY CAMPFIRE GOULASH GRUB
This recipe came from needing to use about half a container of pulled pork bbq (with sauce). We had eaten it as sandwiches, and I needed a new way to serve it and use it up! This is laden with veggies, super-easy, and the boys ate it up! I'm a "pinch-and-dash" cook, so all values are estimated. Happy Trails to you!

Steps:
- Mince garlic and dice carrots and celery fine while heating oil. Sautee all together over medium heat until slightly translucent. Add corn, stir until thawed, and add beef broth and rotel. When this has come to a simmer, add bbq, tomato paste, condiments and seasoning. Allow to simmer until heated through and thickened, tasting and adjusting seasonings before serving. Serve on a bed of rice (or mashed potatoes would be good, too) topped with cheese, sour cream dollop, and a sprinkle of green onion. Yeeee-Haw!
Tips:
- Use a good quality beef: A chuck roast or stew meat are both good choices for this recipe.
- Brown the beef well: This will help to develop flavor and color.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you do, the beef won't brown properly.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and color to the dish.
- Use a good quality broth: This will make a big difference in the flavor of the goulash.
- Simmer the goulash for at least 1 hour: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve the goulash with a side of bread or rice: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
