GOULASH -- MIDWEST STYLE
Most of us know that true goulash, most notably Hungarian Goulash, is prepared with cubed beef, plenty of paprika and a rich flavorful brown gravy.

Steps:
- 1. I season this with a small amount of salt and pepper only, and let the beef and tomatoes flourish in their own goodness. You could add some dry Italian Seasoning or that of choice.
- 2. Fry hamburger with a little salt and pepper added until done. I mash coarse with a wire potato masher in the pan. Leave a little chunky. Add fine diced onions if desired half way into cooking. In separate pan heat water for Macaroni. Add a little salt and a teaspoon of oil to water. Cook Macaroni.

- 4. Add the canned tomatoes and tomato sauce and 1/2 cup water to frying pan. If using whole tomatoes, chop them up some.
- 5. Stir and scrape bottom of frying pan. Add drained macaroni to fry pan and stir well. Simmer for 10 or 12 minutes. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
- 6. Serve with some sliced buttered bread of choice. Flavor improves after a day or two in fridge if you can keep it that long. Freezes well. Most Pasta gets a little soft after freezing or re-heating, but I don't mind that a bit.
