Eats: Goulash

goulash 006

Mmmm Goulash. I figured since I have been posting about food more often on this blog, I should add the occasional junk food on here. This is one of my family favorites and I am pretty sure it was a staple dinner for most families in my area growing up, everyone just added a little something different to their own.  I made this at my housewarming party and a lot of people liked it, so I made a big batch of it again to bring over to my parents house the other week.

I made a double-batch for about six people, but if you want a smaller batch here is what you will need:


-1 box shells and cheese
-1 pound ground beef/turkey
-1 large tomato or two small, chopped
-1 small onion, chopped
-Olive oil
-Seasonings (I have my usual black pepper, season salt & cayenne pepper).

First you will want to boil a pot of water, and cook the noodles for the shells and cheese. While that is cooking, heat up a large skillet, with a tiny amount of olive oil in it. Next, break apart meat in the skillet, and cook until half-done. Next, add the chopped tomato and onion, and season to taste. Cook until done.

Drain the noodles and mix in the cheese, and then add the cooked meat, tomato & onion mix. You are all done! There are healthier options for this, you can use wheat noodles, healthier or non-dairy cheese, lean turkey or meat substitute, but I thought I would share the typical way we ate this as kids. Not very nutritional, but delicious and cheap.

    I had to come back later to read this because I was starving when I opened your blog (aka bad time to read about food). That loosk delicious, and sometimes you don't want the healthiest version. Just the most delicious one.

    Its good to know exactly how to put it together..because I was doing it wrong. I should make the noodles and cheese separate, before the meat and stuff.

    That looks amazing! Not a big fan of beef but I can tolerate it when it's paired with something like this.
