Goulash

My husband said, “Make sure to save this recipe for if/when we have kids.”  It makes a lot and it tastes similar to the goulash I ate growing up.  It’s supposed to be a one-dish wonder, but I was afraid the noodles wouldn’t hold up, so I did them separately.  So now it’s a two-dish wonder :-).

Ingredients:

2 pounds ground beef

1 onion, chopped

3-4 garlic cloves, minced

1 large can of diced tomatoes (1 lb, 12 oz)

4-8 oz cans of tomato sauce (32 oz total)

3 bay leaves

3 T. soy sauce (I use Kikkoman’s Gluten Free Soy Sauce)

2 T. Italian seasoning

1/4 tsp pepper

1/4 tsp garlic powder

2 c. macaroni noodles (I used HEB’s gluten free elbow noodles)

 

Directions:

Cook the ground beef in a deep skillet or wok.  Add onions and garlic and cook until they soften, maybe 5 minutes.  Add remaining ingredients except for the noodles.  Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes.

Meanwhile, bring water to a boil and cook macaroni noodles according to the package’s directions.  Once cooked, drain and then add to beef mixture.  We served it with a side of green beans.
