I tried recreating the gulasz my mom makes at home but unfortunately American stores do not carry many Polish items. There is one good thing about that, I love making new dishes from scratch and here was another opportunity! Which is not always a good thing for my wallet and this time it was on strike. So here is what gulasz consists of when there are limited ingredients available:
Pot Roast
Broccoli
Potatoes
Sweet Onions
Baby Carrots
Baked Beans
Mushrooms
Flour
Barbeque Sauce
Honey
Cut up the meat into cubes and boil it in a pot. This will help get the fat and blood out of it.
Then, fry the meat in some olive oil with diced onion.
In a slow cooker, put in the meat, onions, broccoli, carrots, potatoes, mushrooms, and baked beans (I used Bush's Baked Beans).
Cook on high for about half a day.
Then, I scooped up enough of the broth from the slow cooker into a cup to fill it up halfway and mixed it with some flour. Keep doing this until the sauce gets to the consistency you want.
Add enough BBQ sauce and honey for taste.
Put the slow cooker on high again until dinner time.
I didn't put how much of each ingredient I put in because I have no idea. All I know is that it came out quite delicious. The baked beans were brown sugar and bacon flavored so I wanted to make the whole thing taste like sweet BBQ, that is why I put the honey in there. It may sound gross to some but honey brings the flavor out in many foods, I even put it in my coffee. I only used maybe 1 - 1 1/2 cups of flour, it was put in there just to make the gravy/sauce thicker. There was enough for Tommy and I to last for days. I made it on Friday and there is still half of it left today.
