Home Made Goulashhamburger Helper Recipes

Steps:

• in a very small amount of oil saute celery and onions. Celery should be soft and onions almost clear and both should be starting to turn golden brown. Add oil or a little butter or margie if needed.
• Add beef and brown, but don't over cook. I learned nothing is worse that over cooked beef in this.
• While beef is cooking mix together all other ingredients except water and noodles, salt and pepper. This allows you you taste and adjust your flavors. Remember canned soups and bouillon are salty to begin with.
• Cook noodles according to package directions.
• Drain Meat trying to save as much of the celery and onions as possible.
• Combine all ingredients from bowl together, add water to make consistence like you want it. Bring to soft boil, turn down heat and simmer 5 minutes, add noodles, and serve.
• I know it sound like a lot of work but once you try it you can get down to making it in about 10 minutes or so. I also cheat most of the time and use a can of cream of celery and a can of cream of onion soup. The cream of onion is a staple in my pantry, not cream of mushroom.

Steps:

• Heat a large (12-inch) sauté pan or Dutch oven over medium-low heat, and add oil and onion; season lightly with salt and pepper. (The hot sauce added in Step 6 will add a lot of flavor, so be careful not to overseason here.) Let cook until the onions turn light beige in color and begin to caramelize, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Add garlic, and cook until fragrant and starting to brown ever so slightly, about 2 minutes.
• Increase heat to medium-high and add bacon and ground beef, using the back of a large spoon to break up the meat into smaller pieces. Continue to cook until the liquid has mostly evaporated and the meat starts to sear and develop a crust on the bottom of the pan, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Remove pan from the heat and carefully drain off most of the fat, leaving a little in the pan to keep the meat moist.
• Return pan to the medium-high heat and add white wine, allowing it to reduce until the mixture is almost dry, about 10 minutes.
• Add the chicken stock, heavy cream, hot sauce, paprika and bay leaf to the pan. Mix until combined and bring to a boil over medium-high.
• Once the mixture is boiling, add the pasta and cook until al dente, stirring often, about 9 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to low and stir in both types of cheese, stirring until completely melted and sauce is thickened.
• Remove the pan from heat, stir in chives and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place ground beef in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble, and set aside.
• Add all ingredients (except noodles) to browned ground meat and simmer for 1 hour, then add noodles.

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the water, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, sugar, salt, mustard and garlic powder. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes. , In a small bowl, combine flour and cold water until smooth; stir into the meat mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with noodles or potatoes. Freeze option: Freeze cooled meat mixture in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally and adding a little broth or water if necessary.
