Mom's Skillet Goulash

Why I Love This Recipe
I dropped by my parents house yesterday and much to my delight I found leftover homemade goulash in the fridge. I am a cheese hound, so I tend to add a little sharp cheddar to mine, but that is extremely optional.
Even as leftovers, the celery wasn't mushy. I love that!
