Well hey there, long-lost sis! Ha!
My Mom's secret was the unusual sweet tang provided to the tomato sauce by a can of Campbell's tomato soup! To the bowned ground beef, onions, green bell peppers, and elbow macaroni she added her rich tomato suace that included tomato puree, tomato paste, etc... but then she also added the undiluted canned soup... really made a world of difference and it was the taste in her goulash all those years that none of us could ever figure out.
