Dear Marilyn,

I have 1930, 1950, 1977 and 1981 editions of the Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook, but I didn't find a Hungarian Goulash recipe in any of them. I did find the above recipe in a booklet that I've had since the 70's which is a sampler of recipes from the cookbook: All-Time Favorites: 70 Years of Best-Loved Recipes from America's Best-Selling Cookbook (Better Homes and Gardens). I hope it's the recipe you're looking for.

Happy Cooking!

Betsy
