Step 11
Now distribute the meat and vegetables evenly among the pots. If there is little sauce from the meat, add a little water to the pots and season the dish with salt. Keep in mind that the liquid in the pots will boil and may overflow, so do not fill the water to the very top. Cover the pots with lids or foil and place them in the oven. Cook the goulash for about 30–35 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius, or until the potatoes are fully cooked.
