Goulash is a traditional Hungarian stew typically made with meat, vegetables, and spices. While the classic recipe doesn't usually include cheese and butter, you can certainly add these ingredients to create a rich and flavorful dish. Here's how you can make goulash with vegetables, cheese, and butter:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb stewing beef, cut into cubes
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 2 bell peppers (any color), diced
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes

2. Add the cubed beef to the pot and cook until browned on all sides.
3. Stir in the tomato paste, paprika, and caraway seeds (if using). Cook for another minute to toast the spices.
