My Moms Goulash Recipes

Steps:

• 1. In a dutch oven, add some oil and brown the peppers and onions until tender. Add the garlic and cook another minute. Crumble the ground beef and cook until no longer pink. Drain and return to pot. Stir in the tomatoes, sauce, seasonings, broth & Worcestershire sauce. Stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer & stir in the macaroni and cover pot. Continue simmering for about 30 minutes.
• 2. Remove from heat and let sit for 15 - 20 minutes. Add more seasoning if necessary. If becomes too thick, add more sauce or tomato juice. Serve with cheese and garlic bread. ***This recipe can easily be halved.

Steps:

• Fry hamburger, pepper, and onion in large skillet.
• Drain fat if needed (if you're not sure, you can also only cook the macaroni part way so that while simmering the uncooked pasta will soak up excess moisture when added to the mixture).
• Add remaining ingredients and heat well.
• Add macaroni and heat through.

Steps:

• Mix all of the ingredients together except the noodles and cook until onion and celery are tender.
• Add this to 1-lb macaroni noodles or a package of egg noodles which has been cooked.
• in a separate pot according to directions.
• Add minced garlic with salt and pepper.
• Then add the Bay leaf and Marjoram in the last 30 minutes of cooking.
• Note: You can add your own spices to the mix as well.

Steps:

• Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni, and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain.
• Meanwhile, crumble the ground beef into a 2 quart or larger casserole dish. Add the onion, celery and garlic. Cook in the microwave on High for 5 to 6 minutes, or until beef is no longer pink. Stir once during cooking. Drain off the grease.
• Stir the tomatoes, tomato sauce and sugar into the beef, and season with paprika, oregano, caraway seed, cayenne pepper and salt. Cover, and cook in the microwave on power level 8 for about 14 minutes, or until celery is tender and the flavors have blended.
• Remove from the microwave, and mix in the cooked macaroni. Cook for 2 to 3 more minutes, until heated through. Serve.

Steps:

• Cook the macaroni according to package directions.
• In a large skillet, over medium heat, brown ground beef with onion, till there is no pink left in the beef and then add garlic for a few minutes to cook, then drain beef mixture.
• Return pan to heat and add the can of diced tomatoes, salt and pepper to taste and allow to heat for about 5 minutes.
• Add completely drained pasta and allow to blend for several minutes.
• Add cheese and stir until blended and melted.
• Note: We always had this with sliced bread and butter and either apple sauce with cinnamon or green beans with butter.

Steps:

• Slice bacon into 1 inch squares and cook till almost crisp. Drain and set aside.
• Cut both onions in half, cut side down thickly julienne. Using same skillet pat dry. Add butter and oil to skillet and saute peppers for about 10 minutes. Add onions and cook until onions just begin to get translucent. Add diced garlic. Add bacon and set on very low heat on back burner stirring occasionally!!
• In large skillet brown your ground beef and drain well. Add bacon, peppers, garlic, and onions to beef. Add tomatoes and kidney beans. Cover and simmer on very low heat always remembering to stir occasionally!!
• Now cook your pasta a little pasta al dente until all dark yellow disappears from shells! Drain and mix all together in very large pot. Ready to serve!!!

Steps:

• Season beef with salt, pepper, and paprika.
• Brown seasoned beef and onion in oil until all sides are brown. Cover with water and simmer for 3 to 4 hours or until tender. Add water whenever level goes below the ingredients.
• An hour before serving, add potatoes and chili.

Steps:

• Which ever type of meat you use, cut into bite size pieces and set aside. Roughly chop your onions and peppers and in large pot add oil, onions, peppers and saute til soft add meat and just brown slightly. Add paprika, cayenne (if using). To this also add your flour and stir until combined. Don't add all 4 cups of water at once! Add enough water to just cover (you should still be able to see the meat - too much water and you'll make soup).
• Cover and bring to boil. Once this boils, lower heat to med low and let simmer for about 1 1/2 hours. It has to cook slowly to really absorb flavors and the meat must be very soft. Stir occasionally so that the bottom doesn't stick and burn and if you need to add LITTLE bit of water. It has to be thick once it's cooked through.
• Test your meat for doneness, if it's easily cut with a fork it's good. Season with salt and pepper. You can serve with cooked noodles, rice or mashed potatoes.
• We do the mashed potatoes. And if we have leftover mashed potatoes (I make a lot of mashed potatoes!) I always make my "Potato Fake Out".
