This paperback is from my own collection, while the hard back version was my mother&#8217;s. I didn&#8217;t mark or note any of the recipes in the paperback. The information on the use of different brands of crockpots is the same in both, but some of the recipes are different. And, the hardcover edition is better illustrated.<\/p>\n<p>In all, I have eleven crockpot cookbooks in my database. See <a href=\"http:\/\/cooking.pfeist.net\/?p=939\">my first crockpot blog entry<\/a> for a little on the history of crockpots.<\/p>\n<p>Before I realized that this cookbook was a duplicate, I spent some time poring over the recipes. This time they struck me as &#8220;definitely severnties&#8221; in content. For better or worse! To me, seventies style foods can be both comfort foods and over-fatty over-packaged over-salted foods to avoid. Today I will take them as comfort foods. I choose to make &#8220;Hungarian Goulash&#8221;, with ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard, paprika, and garlic and onion.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6660\" src=\"http:\/\/cooking.pfeist.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/HungarianGoulashRec.jpg\" alt=\"Hungarian Goulash recipe\" width=\"350\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"http:\/\/cooking.pfeist.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/HungarianGoulashRec.jpg 350w, http:\/\/cooking.pfeist.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/HungarianGoulashRec-300x241.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/>The recipe calls for beef stew meat, but I have a quantity of pork loin in the freezer so I decide to use that instead of beef.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hungarian Goulash<\/strong><a name=\"recipe\"><\/a><br \/>\n<em>serves about 4<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2 pounds beef or pork stew meat (I used cut-up pork loin)<\/li>\n<li>1 large onion, sliced<\/li>\n<li>1 clove garlic, minced<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup ketchup<\/li>\n<li>2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce<\/li>\n<li>1 tablespoon brown sugar<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon salt<\/li>\n<li>2 teaspoons paprika<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 teaspoon dry mustard<\/li>\n<li>1 cup water<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 cup flour mixed into a small amount of water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Put the meat in a crockpot and then add the onion.
