Goulash

GOULASH

One pound package elbow macaroni

One pound hamburger meat

One medium or large onion

Four cans chopped tomatoes

Two cans whole kernal corn

One twelve ounce can tomato juice

Black Pepper to taste

Cook macaroni according to package directions and drain. Put the macaroni in a dutch oven type pot. While the macroni is cooking chop the onion and cook it together with the hamburger meat. Drain the grease off the cooked hamburger. Now dump the hamburger and onion, tomatoes, corn and tomato juice in with the macaroni. Stir until mixed together. Simmer until everything is hot and flavors have had a chance to blend. Be careful to not let it stick to the bottom of the pan.

This is one version of GOULASH. I have made it a zillion different ways, but the basic stuff is macaroni, hamburger meat, onions and tomatoes. Sometimes I use tomatoes with green chilis in them or I will add green bell pepper or what ever I might have on hand. Some people add chili powder to their GOULASH. No matter how you make it, GOULASH is a great winter comfort food.
