This hearty Fall favorite is perfect for cold evenings and long nights of trick-or-treating.

In this episode of Rachael Ray’s Week in a Day, Rachael shows us the quick and easy way to whip up a hearty dinner that you can heat up and serve any time.

With the weather getting colder, it is the perfect time to start making heartier comfort food. Nothing says “comfort food” like a rich hearty goulash. The real beauty of this recipe is that it can be prepared with any kind of meat: beef, lamb, chicken, turkey, or pork.

This hearty goulash combines browned meat with standard ingredients such as chopped onion and red pepper, tomato paste, and tomato purée. The real secret to getting the spice just right is the balance between both sweet and hot paprika.

This no-frills dish is perfect for serving a large group, and can be made ahead of time so that you can enjoy your company instead of spending all your time in the kitchen. If you’re only cooking for few people, this goulash reheats beautifully, so you can get multiple meals out of one prep.

While the recipe calls for egg noodles, goulash can be served as a stand-alone dish, or over potatoes if you want to put a new spin on your dish the second time around.

The real beauty of this recipe is how easy it is to make: it only takes about fifteen minutes to prep, and is ready to eat in just over an hour. With the holidays coming up, having a quick dish at your fingertips can be priceless.
