Goulash in my mother's house is spaghetti sauce with meat with elbow pasta stirred in.
The goulash my MIL taught me to make is round steak braised in a paprika gravy served with pickled cabbage & potato dumplings.

Mine is ground beef and elbow macaroni made with tomato soup.
I usually do a ratio of 1 lb meat to 2 cups noodles and 2 cans soup.
Brown beef with onions and whatever seasoning (i use garlic salt, season salt and pepper)

Our goulash is ground beef (season how you like with salt, pepper, etc.) with tomato soup, big squirt of ketchup, little soy sauce and a can of diced tomatoes at times too and then add pasta of your choice. My 12 yr old DD loves to make it.
OK Hungarian Goulash:
2 lbs thick-ish round steak, beef shoulder, or beef shin
2 large onions sliced
1 whole head of garlic, peeled & smashed
HUNGARIAN PAPRIKA. This is not the $1 stuff. It will say HUNGARIAN and will be either SWEET or HOT, we like hot but you can use either.
Canola oil or lard (lard is best), NO olive oil or butter or margarine
1 large potato, 1/4 inch dice
Beef stock
Preheat oven to 350
Put enough oil/lard in a roasting pan to coat the bottom. Cut beef into cubes 2x2x2. Roll in paprika to coat, place in roasting pan in a single layer. Mix onion and garlic in oil to coat, then add more paprika to coat. Place around meat in the roasting pan.
Roast about 30 minutes, turning meat every 10 minutes or so to brown evenly. The browning is done in the oven and not the range because the paprika will burn if done on the range.
When meat is evenly brown, add the diced potato and enough beef stock to cover everything. Cover the roasting pan. Put back in the oven for 3 hours, stirring occasionally. The potato will break down and that is what thickens the gravy. NO TOMATO! NO FLOUR!
When the meat is done, remove roasting pan from oven. Smoosh up any remaining pieces of potato with a fork and stir around.
Add salt to taste.
Serve over potato dumplings, egg noodles, spaetzle, etc.
You can also do this in the crockpot (just add everything at once and cook on low 10-12 hours or high 6 hours), but it is not NEARLY as good that way.
The spicy cabbage salad I cheat on because it is a PITA to make (has to ferment, etc). You can find it at any store that has German, Polish or Hungarian foods. The brand is CRACOVIA and it is bright purple, says spicy cabbage salad on the label. I get it at Angelo Caputos.

My mom from what I remember actually made it with flat egg noodles, stew meat, onions and sour cream. But she called that "our last name goulash."
She would sear the meat with a little butter/olive oil. Then fry some onions and garlic - put the meat back in and put water in the pan, cover it. Simmer it for like 2 hours. Boil the egg noodles - drain. Uncover the meat - take out of pan leaving the stock. Reduce that down put in some butter and a bit of corn starch to thicken. Toss in egg noodles and meat and a bit of sour cream.

this was our family recipe, kind of labor intensive but oh so good! and the mil does it with strictly beef heart <3 EW!!! she searches hi n lo for the juicy hearts, yuck! i will pass
it was positively revolting and this coupled with some hideous "all bulgar dinner", for some reason she seemed to think we were her hideous food guinea pigs, she knows i will tell it like it is, i feel like such a tool, i never win any points with her because of that, and i just learned they are moving far away, made my weekend. i do love her just cannot deal with her on a day to day basis.
