Goulash

This is one of my most favorite dishes to make. I love it fresh and as leftovers. To me, it is just one of those feel good meals. Especially tasty on a cold evening. I think I need to make it soon!

Goulash


What you need:

8 oz macaroni (although I have used an entire 12oz box as well)
1 1/2 lbs ground beef or ground turkey
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup onion
2 cans diced tomatoes (do not drain)
2 cans tomato soup
1 TBSP vinegar
1 TSP dried basil
1/2 TSP salt
1/4 TSP pepper

What to do:

Cook pasta according to box instructions. Drain. In a large pot, brown your meat with the celery and onions for 5-7 minutes or until meat is cooked through. Stir in cooked & drained pasta and all remaining ingredients. Heat to a boil. When brought to a boil, lower the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.

*My Notes*

*Instead of 2 cans of diced tomatoes, I substitute one can for a can of Rotel. Gives it a zing.
*Once again... add minced garlic. Every recipe needs garlic! (ok well not pancakes...)
*I like pepper so I usually add a bit more. But to be kind to others sometimes I wait until I have dished up my own portion.
