1 lb of bacon cut up and fried drain fat 1 pkg elbow noodles cooked and drained 1 can of hole pealed tomatoes cut up keep juice salt and pepper to taste mix all together and done
- hamburger, browned (season w/ dried onion & garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste) - 1 can condensed tomato soup - 1 C hot water - 1 packet chili mix (you know, like you find with the sauce and gravy packets) - prepared noodles (we like Rigatoni)
brown burger, drain noodles, mix hot water, soup and chili seasoning together; add to burger & noodles. VERY good. We like to serve with coleslaw ... sounds odd but it's good.
Cook hamburger in large skillet, boil macaroni noodles and drain. Mix hamburger, corn, macaroni and tomato sauce, heat over medium while adding cheese stir till melted. Add salt and pepper.
I make mine with cheap ingredients and everyone loves it.
2 pounds of Shell noodles 2 pounds of Hamburger 1 Large can of Tomato Sauce 2 6 oz cans of Tomato Paste 1 "squirt" of Ketchup 16 oz of Cheese Salt and Pepper
Brown the HAMBURGER in a skillet with SALT and PEPPER then drain off the grease. Boil NOODLES in water until almost done, they will cook the rest of the way when putting the rest of the ingredients together.
Mix HAMBURGER and NOODLES together with both cans of TOMATO PASTE and half of the TOMATO SAUCE add the KETCHUP and CHEESE. Mix together. If you find that the Goulash looks like it needs a little more sauce then add it, I have found it depends on the brand of things I buy per how much I need to add.
Ingredients 1 lb. hamburger 1 can diced tomatoes 1 can corn package macaroni and cheese (or leftover macaroni and cheese or your own homemade macaroni and cheese) chopped onion (opt) Directions Cook hamburger, add onion, drain and keep in skillet. Add tomatoes and corn. Stir in cooked macaroni and cheese. Heat again until all is bubbly and hot. Very simple and delicious
Source: This recipe is one my mom came up with using her leftovers. Macaroni and cheese was served at least once a week and she was/is excellent at stretching meals and using leftovers. We would have buttered bread with this as well.
I've been cooking this goulash for over 20 years. You can easily half the recipe if your family is small or you don't like eating leftovers.
Easy Skillet Goulash
1 pound lean ground beef 1/2 cup chopped onion 2 (16 oz.) cans stewed tomatoes (cheap brand) 2 (15 oz.) cans red kidney beans (cheap brand) 1 cup macaroni (cheapest brand) 1 tsp. salt (or to suit your taste) 2 tsp. sugar 1 tsp. chili powder 1/2 tsp. cumin dash pepper
Optional: add canned or frozen corn
Brown ground beef and onion in a large skillet, drain excess fat. Add remaining ingredients and simmer, covered 30 to 40 minutes, or until macaroni is cooked and tender, stirring occasionally. 8 servings.
My husband came up with this back in the early 70's when we were stationed in Oklahoma and money was very tight.Brown 1 LB. hamburger ( or turkey burger nowdays), chopped onion, 1 can dark red kidney beans( NOT drained). Cube and boil any amount of potatos you wish. After all ingredients done,drain potatos leaving alittle of the water in. Add meat,onion and beans and simmer for about 15 minutes. Enjoy! To stretch, you can add in a can of light kidney bean and/or a can of whole kernal corn. Add some cornbread and you have a cheap and tummy warmin' meal.
1 lb hamburger 1 onion chopped 1 can kidney beans undrained 1 16 oz can tomatoes OR tomato sauce salt,pepper, garlic salt,sugar to taste dash of Worcestershire sauce 1 cup cooked egg noodles
Cook onions and hamburger together. Add beans,tomatoes and seasoning. Simmer for about 30 min. Add noodles before serving. Serve with garlic toast and salad. Delicious!
Equal parts spaghetti sauce and cranberry jelled (or whole fruit) sauce.
I use 2 lbs turkey burger, cooking it first. Some onion powder, s/p, and garlic powder. I throw in a small can of mushroom pieces, and some chopped black olives if you like them.
Mix with the right amount of mac. and you have a sweeter tasting goolash. I love this because it's not so "tomatoey"...

Boil macaroni according to package and drain. Meanwhile, brown ground beef seasoning with salt, pepper, and a shake or two of garlic and onion powders. Add tomato paste to ground meat and mix, sometimes I add a splash of water to thin it out. Add macaroni to ground meat and combine, adjust salt and pepper to taste.

I make something very close to this, but I add a can of tomatoes, chili powder and some kidney beans. Also very good, cheap, and filling! (12/13/2007)

I make something similar by preparing a box of macaroni and cheese and cooking the hamburger with chopped onion and adding stewed (diced) tomatoes. We love it. (05/02/2008)
