Hungarian Goulash

This is currently one of my favorite meals and is very, very easy. I
serve it over noodles.

HUNGARIAN GOULASH:

Crock Pot:

beef stew meat in 1 inch pieces (sometimes I heat in oil and cook beef
before putting in crockpot; sometimes I don't -- it depends on how busy
I am that morning)
1 lg onion (I usually just use a half an onion and that turns out well)
1 can (14 1/2 oz of beef broth)
1 can (6 oz.) tomato paste (I use something called pizza sauce here in
Australia that is a tomato paste with spices in it)
2 cloves of garlic (recipe says finely chopped, on just 1/4 them and
throw them in)
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp paprika
1 tsp salt

cook in slow cooker for 8-10 hours on low or 4-5 or so on high

30 minutes before serving:

1/4 cup water mixed with 3 T flour -- mix and stir into beef mixture
1 medium red bell pepper
a bunch of chopped up mushrooms (if desired)

**** Today I forgot to throw it into the crockpot so I did it on the
stove on low -- cooking for 2 hours. I floured the beef and cooked in
oil then added other ingredients. With the extra flour, the sauce is
quite a bit thicker than the above crock pot method. I'm not sure if
I'll need to thicken the gravy with flour/water as written above.
