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!

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic
2 carrots
2 stalks celery
1 cup frozen corn
1 (10 ounce) can rotel (diced tomatoes with chiles)
2 cups prepared shredded pork with barbecue sauce (I used Lloyd's, this is about 1/2 of a container's worth)
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 (14 ounce) can beef stock
1 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoons chili powder
kosher salt and pepper
prepared rice or mashed potatoes
2 stalks chopped green onions
shredded cheddar cheese
sour cream

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.

Conclusion:

Cowboy goulash is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter night. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it spicy or mild, with more or less vegetables, cowboy goulash is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this recipe a try.
