Ingredients
- 1/2 lb Macaroni
- 1.5 lb Ground beef
- 1 White onion diced
- 2 14.5 oz Whole stewed tomatoes Undrained
- 2 tbsp Ketchup
- 8 oz Tomato juice Adjust the amount as necessary.
- 1 tsp Garlic salt
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- Hot sauce to taste
- Fresh ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the macaroni to al dente according to package directions. While it’s cooking, brown the ground beef and onion together in an extra-large skillet or in a dutch oven. Drain and season with spices to taste.
- In a large bowl, mash tomatoes with potato masher and add to beef along with the ketchup.
- Drain macaroni and add to the beef mixture, stirring well. Taste and add additional seasoning as needed.
- Add more tomato juice if you want it juicier.
Notes
- Take the time to make sure the beef is well browned and cook the onions until they're soft for better taste.
- Don't overcook the macaroni!
- Mash the tomatoes in the can (or use a bowl) with a masher before putting them in with the beef to make it chunky.
- Add tomato juice or broth slowly to make the goulash thinner, like soup, if you prefer.
