Cowboy Goulash is my twist on a the traditional goulash recipe. This version features lots of Tex-Mex flavors with just a enough spice to give it a kick. If you’re looking for an easy comfort food that with a lot of flavor this recipe is for you.
When I was younger my mother used to make this Cowboy Goulash it was always one of my favorites. It has remained one of my favorite comfort foods since childhood. In college I made it for friends and sorority sisters before a big cram session for midterms and finals. Over the years I’ve changed a couple things in this recipe. I’ve added the jalapeño and Ro-Tel to give it a little kick. I added the Worcestershire sauce to give the recipe a little bit of a smokey flavor. I think adding these three things have really given this recipe more of a Tex-Mex feel.
Now as I said at the beginning of this post I I’m teaming up with a few other food bloggers to help raise awareness and funds for Hurricane Harvey Relief.

My father was a captain at the fire department and they’d rotate to each member of the team to cook supper for those firefighters that had to stay at the station overnight. Their fare was often something simple, dad liked to cook goulash and he often made it for us as kids at home too – MAN I loved it! As a Texas girl, I’m lovin’ your southwestern flavor of this version and I can’t wait to give it a try. Thanks for sharing! (Visiting from What’d You Do This Weekend party)

do you add any seasonings? salt, pepper, chili powder or anything? I have all the ingredients and just noticed no seasonings are mentioned.
Aside from the garlic no, but if you’d like Red Pepper or Chili Powder would give it a little kick. Also you could add salt and pepper to your individual preference. I try to limit our salt in take because high cholerestorl and heart disease run though both sides of our family tree. —
Thanks for stoppin’ by,

Looks so yummy and easy! Guess that’s why is is a hit! Visting from Autumn Abound. Linda @ bushelandapickle.com
I love this and make it often! I add cumin to give it a little “Tex Mex” flavor!
I have been making this for years. I thought I made up the recipe. So glad someone- else did the same
This is a great recipe. Especially for working parents!
