    A childhood favorite! We called it goulash and it was cookedd on the stovetop. The crock worked fine for it and got the rice nice and tender.

  2. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    California pilaf is one of those old recipes that I grew up with although I don't remember it cooking in the crock pot. I've also seen this called goulash. On low this took me about 8 hours until the rice was cooked.

  3. bruce REVIEW:

    I was so happy to find this recipe for California Pilaf. This is what my Mom used to make for us when I was a kid that was my favorite meal! It is a bit 60's-centric ... lots of hamburger, tomato, but I am going to try it ASAP again in her honor ... and I have to recommend it to everyone! Yummy and easy to make.
