Well-seasoned meat, sweet tomatoes, carrots, peppers, Italian seasoning, and some smoky paprika can feel like a warm blanket on a cold fall evening – kinda like this F.N. Sharp knife, buried under a blanket of perfectly diced veggies...

F.N. Sharp knife with diced veggies for American Goulash recipe

And when it comes to spooky things that keep us up at night, like branches scratching along the window, coyotes growling in menacing tones, or the anything-but-dulcet sounds of a cat screaming at its prey, well – wait...

We’ve lost our collective train of thought with all of those spooky-kooky thoughts running around our noggins! 

But, something that always manages to calm us down is a wonderful bowl of goulash on a day when darkness falls early in a disconcerting fashion. 

It’s warm. 

It’s comforting. 

It’s loaded with soothing flavors on the chilliest of dark and rainy fall evenings. 

It calms our souls and brings a smile to our faces, even as we hear a window shutter slam against the siding in an ominous fashion, making our hearts jump…

Goulash to the rescue! 

Now round up your ingredients, grab your F.N. Sharp Chef’s Knife, get that cutting board ready, and let’s make some scary good ghoul-ash 👻🎃
