BAKED GOULASH

This is a nice hearty meal with a simple homemade sauce and lots of cheese.

Provided by Melissa Turner

Categories     Casseroles

Time 2h5m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 lb ground beef
3 can(s) tomato sauce 28 oz cans
1 can(s) tomato paste
1 Tbsp italian seasoning
1/2 Tbsp garlic powder
1/2 Tbsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic salt
2 Tbsp sugar
1 box large elbow macaroni (not large box actual large noodles) or other favorite pasta
3 c cheddar cheese, shredded
crushed plain potato chips (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Brown and drain ground beef in a large sauce pan. Add beef back to pan and the rest of the sauce ingredients. Bring to boil then lower heat and simmer for at least one hour. While sauce is cooking bring a pot of water to boil and cook noodles al dente right before sauce is done. Drain noodles and add sauce to noodles until it's the consistency you want. I make mine pretty saucy since baking dries it out a bit.
  • 2. Assemble casserole. Layer of pasta. Then half your cheese. Then another layer of pasta. Then add the rest of your cheese. Sometimes I add crushed up potato chips to the top for a little crunch. Bake at 350 for about 40 minutes. I like my cheese nice and browned and bubbly.

Categories     Beef

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 c elbow macaroni, cooked
2 lb ground chuck, cooked
1 can(s) diced tomatoes - 15 oz.
1 can(s) tomato sauce - 8 oz.
2 c fine shredded cheese of choice or blend
1 pkg lipton onion soup mix
1 Tbsp chili powder

Steps:

  • 1. Cook Macaroni to andante stage. Drain, and place in casserole dish. Prepare beef in saute pan, leaving chunky, bite sized portions, drain excess oils. Add chili powder and onion soup mix and blend well. Add tomatoes and tomato sauce. Poor mixture over macaroni, add 1 cup cheese and lightly mix into cooked macaroni. Top with remaining 1 cup cheese, bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Serve with side salad and Texas Toast.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will not only add flavor and texture to your goulash, but it will also make it more nutritious. Some good options include onions, carrots, celery, potatoes, and bell peppers.
  • Brown the beef before adding it to the goulash. This will help to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Use a good quality broth. The broth is the base of your goulash, so it's important to use one that is flavorful and has a rich body. If you don't have any homemade broth on hand, you can use a store-bought broth, but be sure to choose one that is low in sodium.
  • Simmer the goulash for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. You can simmer it for longer if you want a more flavorful goulash.
  • Serve the goulash with a side of sour cream or yogurt. This will help to balance out the richness of the goulash and add a touch of creaminess.

Conclusion:

Baked goulash is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter night. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. So next time you're looking for a comforting and delicious meal, give baked goulash a try.
