For optimal flavor, prepare the goulash a day in advance and refrigerate. The flavors will meld and deepen overnight. Reheat gently before serving. Feel free to adjust the amount of chili to your preference for heat. A pinch of cayenne pepper can also be added for an extra kick. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a delightful finishing touch.
