One-Pot Goulash

My mom would make goulash for dinner. She also made her famous hamburger pie which was ground beef and onions in a tomato base with canned green beans and then pillows of mashed potato on top. I was scrolling online and saw one of the content creators I follow (@wyseguide) making goulash and it made me hungry for my mom’s one-pot goulash recipe. This is an adapted version, but you get the idea. This one-pot goulash recipe makes a lot so enjoy the leftovers.
