Hamburger Goulash

Ingredients:
1 lb lean hamburger
1 medium onion - chopped into small pieces
2 cups of elbow macaroni
1 qt of stewed tomatoes
1 tbsp minced garlic
1/4 tsp ground oregano (or to taste)
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
1/2 tsp ground black pepper (or to taste)

Directions:
Brown hamburger and onion together on medium heat with lid on pan until brown. When hamburger is brown and crumbled into small pieces, take lid off and continue to cook until excess moisture is gone (about 5 to 10 minutes). Drain any excess fat. If using lean hamburger, there is usually no need to drain. Stir in tomatoes (with juice), minced garlic, oregano, salt, pepper and the macaroni. (No need to cook the macaroni first. It's better if you don't. It will cook in the tomato juice) Bring to a boil with pan uncovered, (I chop up any larger tomato pieces into smaller pieces with the spatula during this time), stir well, put lid on pan, and simmer on low heat for about 30 minutes. Stir well and serve.

We make a variation of this at our house often. Instead of oregano we use several tablespoons of fresh terragon. In place of home canned tomatoes we use canned diced tomatoes. To finish it we add 8oz of grated mozzerella cheese (or whatever is in the fridge) on top and cover and let the cheese melt for about 5 minutes. Then serve.

@gerry301 That sounds good. I'll have to try it sometime. :)

Very nice. I make hamburger goulash, too. Just about the same recipe that my mom made as far back as I can remember. It is one of those dishes that can be a complex or simple as you want and it almost always comes out tasting fantastic. Thanks for a great video!
