A Little of This and A Little of That And What Do You Get?...

Goulash!  It is truly my husbands favorite dish.  So simple to make and it's also a cheap dish.  These days with the food prices I am all about making supper that can be easily turned into two meals!   What I do is make it with ground turkey for a healthier dish!  At our age we don't really eat alot of beef unless its a steak on the grill or something.  And when you substitute ground beef for ground turkey in almost every dish you can't tell the difference.  This particular recipe if I didn't tell you it was turkey you would never know the difference it's that good.  Goulash is something that everyone makes and usually everyone has there own special recipe that's been handed down to them.  My kids grew up eating goulash and still love it.  I made it for supper this week and it was excellent.

Some people put oregano in theirs or other herbs I just keep mine simple with the few ingredients listed below...

Goulash

2 lbs ground beef or turkey
1 large onion (diced)
2 bell peppers (diced)
salt and pepper to taste
1 large can Hunt's Tomato Sauce
Large elbow macaroni (American Beauty)

In frying pan add the meat, onions and bell pepper.  Cook until half way done and then season with salt and pepper.  Cook until completely done and then add the tomato sauce.  Stir well and allow to cook for about 10 minutes and then remove from heat and keep covered with lid.

In a large pot boil the water for the pasta and be sure to really salt the water.  When water has come to a boil I add about 3/4 of the bag of macaroni. When pasta is done drain well and add to the tomato mixture and stir until macaroni is well coated.  Allow to sit covered for about 5 minutes before serving.

Top with parmesan cheese and serve it with some garlic bread...yummy!
