Easy Goulash

For a quick and easy meal, try goulash. It's fairly basic and tastes wonderful. Here's the recipe I use.

Easy Goulash

1 pound hamburger

1/2 onion, chopped

1/2 green pepper, chopped

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 can tomatoes (15-16 ounce)

1 can tomato sauce (15-16 ounce)

2 cups small elbow macaroni, uncooked

Seasoned black pepper

Salt

Paprika

Saute chopped onion and chopped green pepper in olive oil and set aside. Brown hamburger in same pan used for onion and pepper and drain when finished. Add onion, green pepper, tomatoes and tomato sauce to browned hamburger. While this is simmering, cook the macaroni. When macaroni is finished cooking, add to hamburger mixture. Finish by adding seasoned black pepper, salt, and paprika to taste. Let simmer for a few minutes until heated through before serving.

You can always add an orange pepper or red pepper in place of the green one--or use a pepper from the garden. Also, for those of you who garden and can tomatoes, pull out a jar of those tomatoes instead of one from the grocery store.

Serve with parmesan cheese. Enjoy!!
