Slow Cooker Recipe

Tough Love

Hungarian Beef2

We’re not sure what makes this beef “Hungarian.” We do know that once again the slow cooker works its magic on a less-than-tender piece of meat, turning an inexpensive cut into melt-in-your-mouth morsels.

That’s why we love our slow cookers.

    It’s called “hungarian” just b/c of the Paprika.

    Looks a bit like Hungarian Goulash without the parsley root to me. A few extra ingredients but same basic principal. If it’s Hungarian Paprika mores the better. Yes, I’m Hungarian and have made my Goulash in slow cooker.

    Will be making with moose, in fact, I have a package thawing on the counter right now. I think this recipe and methods lends itself to any wild game.
