Goulash

I used 8 ozs of elbow macaroni and cooked it to al dente. I might try 1/2 cup chopped celery & 1/4 cup chopped green pepper next time for a bit more flavor. I will without doubt make this again. Thank you.

Wow! It sure brought back some memories. This was very close to my Mom's recipe from what I remember. My 22 month old went back for thirds so I think that is a fair judge of how good it was. Nothing gourmet about it but one of those good staples to throw together when you just don't know what else to make for dinner. Very easy and Yummy. I used canned mushrooms and it worked out fine.

I needed something that I could have ready by the time the family got home with the ingredients I had on-hand. The reviews said this recipe is very forgiving, so I gave it a try. It was a huge hit! My daughter even ate the onions without complaint. It doesn't say how how much pasta to use, so used up what elbow macaroni I had which was about 8 oz. I didn't have any tomato sauce, so I used about 3 oz of tomato paste and a bit of water. Stewed tomatoes instead of tomatoes w/green chilies. I did sub a couple of things, but I think the general idea is the same - and it is very good!

This is almost identical to the Goulash I make, so I'm rating here instead of posting my own recipe. I usually add a can of diced tomatoes, skip the mushrooms, and add whatever veggies (finely diced) are sitting around begging to be used. I usually also add bell peppers and corn. This is a VERY forgiving recipe that is great to stretch a little meat into enough food to feed an army, with whatever happens to be in your pantry!

This was my first time making goulash, usually I just make homemade sauce with pasta. This was so easy, my family loved it. I added garlic, salt, and pepper for flavor and a can of stewed tomatoes too. Thanks will make again.
