MOM'S SIMPLE GOULASH

Steps:

• Fry hamburger, pepper, and onion in large skillet.
• Drain fat if needed (if you're not sure, you can also only cook the macaroni part way so that while simmering the uncooked pasta will soak up excess moisture when added to the mixture).
• Add remaining ingredients and heat well.
• Add macaroni and heat through.

MOMS' HUNGARIAN GOULASH

Steps:

• Which ever type of meat you use, cut into bite size pieces and set aside. Roughly chop your onions and peppers and in large pot add oil, onions, peppers and saute til soft add meat and just brown slightly. Add paprika, cayenne (if using). To this also add your flour and stir until combined. Don't add all 4 cups of water at once! Add enough water to just cover (you should still be able to see the meat - too much water and you'll make soup).
• Cover and bring to boil. Once this boils, lower heat to med low and let simmer for about 1 1/2 hours. It has to cook slowly to really absorb flavors and the meat must be very soft. Stir occasionally so that the bottom doesn't stick and burn and if you need to add LITTLE bit of water. It has to be thick once it's cooked through.
• Test your meat for doneness, if it's easily cut with a fork it's good. Season with salt and pepper. You can serve with cooked noodles, rice or mashed potatoes.
• We do the mashed potatoes. And if we have leftover mashed potatoes (I make a lot of mashed potatoes!) I always make my "Potato Fake Out".

MOM'S TACO GOULASH

• When the meat is almost completely browned, stir in the taco seasoning and continue cooking for 1 minute.
• After beef is done browning, add the cream of mushroom soup, black beans, green chile, and whipping cream. Mix well and cook for 2 minutes on low medium heat. Remove from heat.
• Lay 2 tortillas on bottom of the dish, tear another tortilla to fit empty spaces. Spread 3 ladles of the beef/soup mixture on top of the tortillas, then sprinkle 1 cup of cheese. Repeat 2 more layers of tortillas, beef/soup mixture, cheese.
• Cover with foil and place in a 350 preheated oven on the top rack for 25 minutes. Allow 10 minutes to cool before serving.
