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.

This is a modified version of what my dad used to prepare when I was growing up....he "fondly" tagged it "Slum Gullum"! He was a very good cook.

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:

  • When browning the beef, do not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the meat from cooking evenly and will result in a watery goulash.
  • Be sure to use a good quality beef broth. This will add a lot of flavor to the goulash. You can also use chicken broth if you prefer.
  • If you want a thicker goulash, you can add a cornstarch slurry. To make a cornstarch slurry, mix together equal parts cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Then, stir the slurry into the goulash and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until the goulash has thickened to your desired consistency.
  • Goulash can be served over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice. You can also serve it with a side of crusty bread.
  • Leftover goulash can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze goulash for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Baked goulash is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a relatively easy dish to make, making it a great option for busy weeknights. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
