Czech Goulash (the Real Thing)

==Description==
This came from my Grandmother who received it from her mother who moved here from Czechoslovokia.
===Ingredients===
* 2 lbs cubed Beef, about 1/2 inch 
* 2 lbs of cubed Pork, about 1/2 inch 
* 2 tablespoons oil, to brown your meat 
* 2 teaspoons pickling spices 
* 1 cup chopped onions (preferably sweet) 
* 2 (15 ounces) cans of diced stewed tomatoes 
* 1 (14 ounces) bottle catsup (preferably Heinz) 
* 1 (10 ounces) can tomato soup (preferably Campbells) 
* 1 teaspoon ground cloves 
* 1 teaspoon ground allspice 
* 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg 
* 1 teaspoon ground turmeric 
* 1 teaspoon ground paprika 
* 1 teaspoon Sugar 
* 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 
* 1/2 teaspoon salt 
* 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 
* 1/2 teaspoon red peppers 
* 1 teaspoon white vinegar 
* 1 teaspoon good whiskey (I use Black Jack Daniels) 
===Directions===
* Heat oil in large dutch oven (large stew pot) on high heat. 
* Combine Beef and Pork and begin to brown in oil on all sides. 
* When meat is browned on all sides add Onion; add enough water to cover the meat and onions mixture. 
* Tie pickling spices in a cheesecloth or, us a metal tea ball only half full. 
* Spices will expand while cooking. 
* Drop cheesecloth or teaball into meat mixture. 
* Simmer mixture for 45 minutes. 
* Add ingredients from cans, diced tomatoes, tomato soup, and catsup; stir mixture well. 
* Finally add all the spices as measured, the vinegar and the whiskey! 
* Turn fire or heat to a low setting and simmer for 1 hour with lid on the pot. 
* Check and stir frequently to prevent the bottom from scorching or burning. 
* THIS IS ALL GOING TO MAKE YOUR KITCHEN SMELL AWESOME AS IT SIMMERS-- After simmering for the 1 hour it is ready to serve in bowls with large spoons. 
* OH YEAH< TAKE OUT THE pickling spice CONTAINER AND DISCARD TO THE SINK-- Ladle out and ENJOY! 
* (AN OPTIONAL SERVING- Is to add 2 cups of egg noodles as you are simmering the soup till the noodles are tender. You may have to add a little more water for the noodles).
