Recipe Tips
- You can skip browning the meat if you are in a rush. This skip will probably mean your beef might not be as flavorsome but will still be enjoyable. It also saves making an extra dish to wash up.
- Assuming the goulash is too runny for your liking, then you can thicken it with some cornstarch. In a separate bowl, mix one tablespoon of cornstarch with one tablespoon of water until it forms a paste. Now pour this paste into the goulash while mixing, hopefully avoiding any lumps. It should thicken up after ten to twenty minutes of cooking.
- Turn the slow cooker to high and cook for four hours if you are in a rush.
