For an even richer flavor, consider using beef broth instead of water. A dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh parsley adds a delightful finishing touch. This goulash can easily be adapted for a slow cooker. Simply brown the beef and onions as directed, then transfer everything to the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Bay leaf also enhances the flavor during simmering.
