My Mom's Goulash recipe. She'd make lots of it and bake it in a big green baking dish. She'd almost always make this when we had visitors because it's inexpensive, easy to put together and it can be made ahead and baked when dinner time rolled around.
The ingredient list is simple: 1# hamburger, a can of diced tomatoes, a bay leaf, garlic, bell pepper, onion and pasta shells. If that hamburger looks a little different to you it's because it's antelope. Only once in a great while do I buy hamburger from the store.
Brown the burger in a little olive oil. Remove from the pan and add the green peppers and onions and saute until soft.
Add the can of tomatoes and simmer for 10-15 minutes. In the meantime, cook the pasta and drain it.
Mix the pasta with the burger mixture and put into a casserole dish.
Cover and bake at 350F until bubbly and browned around the edges. During the last few minutes of baking, sprinkle the top with shredded cheese and continue to bake until the cheese has melted. Serve this with some garlic bread and you're all set for a quick, easy and delicious dinner!
I wonder how this would taste with another kind of meat? It looks good but I don't eat hamburger. I would melt shredded cheese on almost anything :)
ReplyDeleteThis is very similar to how I make my goulash. Except I had beans to it (-: I have never baked it though... might have to try that next time.
ReplyDeleteBoy does this take me back to my childhood - my mom made it for us all the time. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteYum, this sounds really good! I recently made a similar goulash with lamb and it was pretty good too.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so wonderful! About 7 years ago I was craving goulash and I couldn't find a recipe in any of my cookbooks, and none of the online recipes looked like what I wanted to eat. And now here you are to save the day for my next craving!! :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks terrific. Most of us had a recipe like this in our childhood. If you have time search for slumgullion of my site. We all have great memories of this recipe.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I've never had goulash. Looks right up my alley though!
