This is the American version of Goulash, which is quite different from the Hungarian version (…more like a stew).

And it is COMFORT FOOD at it’s best, AND the best leftovers EVER!

And best of all…it’s SO EASY!

I like to use ground turkey, but any ground meat will do.

Brown the meat with onions, peppers and garlic.

Pour in tomato sauce and beef broth…

…then add Worcestershire sauce and seasonings.

Add in elbow macaroni and bring to a boil. Turn down heat and cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

Add cheese and there it is!

Serve with crusty bread and a salad and you have a hearty, delicious meal.

ENJOY!
