- 1 cup water

Instructions
- Spray insert for a 5-quart slow cooker with cooking spray.

- When ready to serve, bring a large pot of water to boil and cook noodles per package directions. Place the flour into a small bowl and spoon in about 2 tablespoons of the juices from the cooker. Stir with a fork or whisk into a smooth slurry, then stir back into the cooker. Raise setting to high and cook covered for 15 minutes.
- Serve the goulash over the cooked noodles and pass sour cream at the table if desired.
