                                          • Place beef, onions, minced garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, salt, paprika, and mustard into an 8 or 8¹⁄2 qt slow cooker. Stir well.
                                            For 25 servings, use 1 slow cooker.
                                            For 50 servings, use 2 slow cookers.
                                          • Cover and cook for 5 hours on high or 10 hours on low.
                                            Critical Control Point: Heat to 165 °F or higher for at least 15 seconds.
                                          • To make slurry: Combine warm water and flour to form a thin paste. Use a whisk for fork to mix. Add the slurry to the slow cooker and cook for 20 minutes or until the goulash has thickened.
                                          • Fill a large stock pot with water.
                                          • Bring water to a rolling boil. Slowly add noodles. Stir constantly until water returns to a boil. Cook uncovered for about 8 minutes or until al dente. Stir occasionally. Do not over cook. Drain well.
                                          • Serve ¹⁄2 cup (No. 8 scoop) goulash over ¹⁄4 cup (No. 16 scoop) noodles.
                                            Critical Control Point: Hold at 140 °F or higher.

                                          Variations
                                          If using frozen beef, defrost in the refrigerator 1 day per 1–5 pounds. Store raw beef at 40 °F or lower. May substitute ¹⁄4 cup whole-grain-rich cooked noodles with ¹⁄4 cup cooked brown rice.
                                          Slow Cooker and Food Safety Tips
                                          Slow cookers cook foods slowly at a low temperature—generally between 170 °F and 280 °F. The low heat helps less expensive, leaner cuts of meat become tender and shrink less. If you cut up meat and vegetables in advance, store them separately in the refrigerator. The slow cooker may take several hours to reach a safe, bacteria-killing temperature. Always thaw meat or poultry before putting it into a slow cooker. Make sure the cooker is plugged in and turned on. Keep the lid in place.
