Title: Goulash (not Hungarian) Description: Carol Phillips asked me if I had any old recipes. After writing it for her I decided to add it to the site:
When my kids were little I cooked everyday. I don't cook anymore. But my daughters still ask me to make 'Goulash'.
This is not the traditional Hungarian Goulash, it is similar to what some call ChiliMac (not as spicy). It is a recipe Mom got when she first married Dad and was living with the Dixon's in Louisa (1937?). I'm not sure (linda might know) but I think it came from a neighbor named Billups.
Ingredients: 1 lb Ground Chuck
1 onion diced
8-10 oz Elbow Macaroni
1 can of diced tomatoes (Mom used her own canned tomatoes, much better)
1 can of light red kidney beans
Directions: In a sauce pan, add macaroni to boiling water, stir occasionally. In large skillet, brown the hamburger with the diced onion.
When hamburger is brown, add tomatoes and kidney beans. Raise heat to bring 'mixture' to a boil.
When macaroni is almost done (just beginning to get soft, not soft enough to eat), drain and add to the 'mixture'.
Cook and stir 'mixture' till macaroni is done (soft).
Salt to taste.
Mom had bread with every meal, so we eat Goulash with buttered bread.
