This Goulash Recipe is so quick and easy it is crazy!  It is super quick so you need to make sure you have everything ready – especially the potatoes (if you want to cook mashed potatoes).  See below for our REVAMP Inspiration too.

REVAMP Inspiration

One of my favourite Revamps for this meal is a Steak and Mushroom Pie.  Just remember to double the quantities so you have enough filling!

Thanks Aimee. Your twofers meals are a great idea! Anytime we can be more eiefcifnt with our food, time and energy we win!Thanks Whitney. I really appreciate it. I have to say that adding lunches to our plan made a huge difference. Huge!We send the kids’ with hot lunch in their Thermos food jars. It’s in their for 3.5+ hrs after we warm it up in the morning before they eat it and it’s fine. I’ve even tested this out at work. They prefer hot lunches so we do this most days.Worth a try.
