Old-fashioned goulash was a common ingredient in my home region of the Mid-West. It was something that my mom would make all the time, and it was a tradition that she would pass down to her children. This dish is one of those that keeps getting made, and it has been a part of my family for a long time.

Prepare the ground meat in a large pan by sautéing it over medium heat until it’s half cooked. Add the garlic, olive oil, and onions and continue cooking until the meat is fully cooked.
