(Shared recipe submitted by Susannah Walker.)

Susannah writes: "This recipe was given to my sister back in 1964. Her friend, Mary Molnar, had a visit from her Hungarian mother-in-law, who could not speak a word of English. She was showing Mary and my sister how to make authentic goulash. This is the recipe."
