Is this dish supposed to be spicy? Because I used sweet paprika and it was just not for my taste. Next time I’ll try a different recipe.
Yum! Makes me want to lick the plate clean. My whole family devoured it! Thanks for sharing!
I tried this and my beef was kinda tough. I followed the instructions but maybe it needed more simmering? Not sure, but I ain’t impressed.
Absolutely loved this recipe! The beef turned out so tender and the flavor was just amazing. Definitely going to make it again!
So glad to hear you loved it! It’s one of my favorites too! 😍
Delicious! This recipe reminded me of my childhood. Will be making again.
My grandma made this with chicken, not beef. They both taste good tho!
I followed the reciepe but it was too salty. Maybe I’ll use less salt next time.
I think your salt amount might vary depending on the broth you used! Some broths are saltier than others. Just needs a little adjustment, I guess! 👍
Yum! I served it with noodles, and my whole family loved it! Thanks for sharing!
Sour cream ain’t for cooking beef. I prefer it without, tasted fake to me.
I dunno, I think it sounds good. But what if you make it without and then try it once? You might like it better than you think!
I disagree! Sour cream adds richness and a creamy texture that balances the spices. I love it in this dish! 😊
This was so delicious! The paprika really makes it pop. Will def make again!
Not bad but a bit too rich for my taste. Maybe less sour cream next time?
I agree, it can be a little heavy. A dollop of sour cream is usually good enough! Less is more! 🍽️
I think it’s perfect! But we all have different tastes. Maybe try Greek yogurt instead next time.
Bland! I added even more paprika, but still no flavor. Disappointed.
Maybe try adding garlic or some fresh herbs next time? That usually helps with flavor!
Amazing recipe! Can I use chicken instead of beef? Asking for a friend.
I think chicken could work, but the flavor will be different. Beef has that hearty taste! Just sayin’.
Nah, beef is a big part of this dish. Chicken will totally change it up! Better stick to beef.
Bah, just mixed up hte steps.. ended up burnt! Lesson learned, read carefully!
Paprikash? I thought it was a dessert! Didn’t realize it was savory. Oops!
This was so good! The beef was tender and the flavor was awesome. Will definitely make again!
I totally agree! The flavor is just amazing! I added some extra paprika and it turned out even better. Yum!
Made this for dinner, everyone gobbled it up. Will try with rice next time!!
I don’t know if I did something wrong, but mine came out a bit bland. Maybe I needed more paprika or something?!
Toot, toot! Here we go! It was great!! Slap lickin good!
Not bad, but my beef was a lil tough even after an hour. Any tips?
I added some carrots and bell peppers for more veggies. Was a hit in my house!
Super easy to make, I’m not the best cook but this worked great! Thanks!
This recipe is fantastic! I tried it last night and my family loved it.
Really? I didn’t think it would be that good. I might give it a try, but I’m not a fan of sour cream.
I’m so glad to hear that! This has become my go-to recipe as well. It’s so hearty and delicious.
My husband is picky about beef, but he gobbled it up. Props to this recipe!
Sounds delicious! I gotta try it for my picky husband too!
Wow, this is the best thing I ever cooked! Don’t know why I waited so long to try it.
Total fail for me. The sauce wouldn’t thicken and I ended up with a soup. So sad!!
You must’ve done something wrong. I made it and the sauce was super thick! Maybe too much broth?
Sorry to hear that! Did you let the sauce cook long enough after adding the sour cream? That usually helps it thicken up.
I thought this was supposed to be spicy? It wasn’t spicy at all. Who uses sour cream in paprikash?
What? No spice?! It should be spicy! And sour cream is a common thing in lots of recipes. Might just be your taste buds. 🤔
I totally agree! I expected it to be more spicy too. Sour cream in paprikash? That’s kinda weird. I would skip it next time.
I didn’t have beef broth, so used chicken instead. Still turned out nice! 😋
That’s awesome! I’ve done the same with chicken before and it turned out great. Thanks for sharing! 😊
Chicken? In beef paprikash? 😂 Not sure about that, but glad you liked it!
Yummy in my tummy!!! 😋 I paired it with noodles and my family loved it!
Glad to hear your family enjoyed it! Noodles sound like a great pairing with this dish. 🤗
I dunno how you can call this authentic beef paprikash, but it worked out ok. My babushka would be shocked.
I totally get you! My grandma makes the best paprikash, and this just doesn’t compare. But hey, it can still be tasty I guess!
Authentic? Nah, not really. But if it tasted good, that’s what matters! 🙌
Followed the recipe exactly but mine came out kinda bland… anyone else have this problem?
