Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh green beans instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh green beans in place of canned. Just blanch them in boiling water for a few minutes before adding them to the skillet. This will ensure they are tender yet still crisp when baked with the goulash.
What can I substitute for tomato soup?
If you don't have tomato soup, you can use crushed tomatoes or tomato sauce. Add a teaspoon of sugar and some Italian seasoning to mimic the flavor of tomato soup. This will still give the goulash a rich and savory taste.
How can I make this dish gluten-free?
To make Moma Goulash gluten-free, use gluten-free biscuits and ensure that the tomato soup is also gluten-free. Most canned soups are gluten-free, but it's always best to check the labels. You can also make your own biscuit dough using gluten-free flour.
