Hungarian Goulash

I am a big fan of Slow Cooker or 'Crockpot' meals.
They are a great option for a busy weekday or a relaxing weekend meal.
Andy found this recipe in a cookbook that we were given for our wedding (9 years ago) the cookbook is simply called,
'Slow Cooker Cookbook' from Betty Crocker.
This recipe has been a favorite and a staple meal in our house for many years.
Enjoy!
