Grandma'S Goulash - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lbs chuck roast, trimmed of fat and cut into bite sized pieces
4 potatoes, chunked into 2 inch pieces
2 cups baby carrots
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cups ketchup
2 tablespoons paprika
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
cornstarch, for a roux
salt and pepper
water

Preparation

In a large pan, season beef with garlic powder, salt and pepper and cook until browned.
Place in a large pot, adding water until meat is covered.
Add ketchup, paprika and onion, stirring until ketchup is dissolved.
Bring to a boil, then lower heat and cover.
Simmer for 45 minutes-1 hour, until meat is tender.
Remove meat from pot.
Add carrots to sauce, which should be thickening up a little and simmer, covered for 15 minutes.
Add potatoes and simmer for another 30-45 minutes until veggies are tender. (Can add more water if running low, but will need to add a bit more ketchup also.).
If needed, make a roux with cornstarch and water and thicken the sauce to your liking.
Add meat back to pot and heat through.
Enjoy!
