Today I’m teaming up with a few other bloggers to help raise funds for our favorite charity to help support hurricane relief in Houston. Each  blogger selected a Texas style or Texas inspired recipe to post today.
For me it’s impossible to think about Texas and not think about cowboys. Both the cowboys in boots and the Cowboys in cleats. The relief organization I’m  supporting is the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR).
This organization is amazing and they offer assistance for everything from providing meals to helping with the labor of rebuilding damaged homes. And, unlike other national organizations 100% of the money you give to them goes to victim assistance. I’ll let you know at the end of the post how you can donate to this group.

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. If you’d like to learn more about UMCOR or make a donation of any size just click the link below. It’s really easy and remember 100% of your donation goes to people in need. Thanks!!

    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)

      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,
      Susanne
