This was, and still is, one of my favorite things my mom makes for dinner. I enjoyed this made by my mom today, and nobody makes it like mom does. Ellie loved the dumplings! I have to force myself to stop eating them.

Yum yum yum! My dad makes something very similar (and now so do I) – goulash (made with pork) and spaetzle. The spaetzle are like your dumplings, except no sour cream. If you like this kind of hearty food, a big treat is to make beef rouladen, stuffed with bacon, mustard and onions. Like this: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/german-beef-rouladen/. BEST GRAVY EVER.
Goulash seems to be one of those recipes that has a million different variations. I’ve never had it with spaetzle, but I’d like to! And this beef rouladen, bacon, and onions recipe looks great!
