Years and years ago, my dad got my mom a microwave for their Anniversary. I know you're thinking, "I know better than that! You NEVER get household appliances for your wife for your anniversary!" But my mom really, really wanted that microwave! She was thrilled with it! And they lugged it all over the country for about 12 years until it died. The microwave came with a microwave cookbook with a single gem of a recipe that we've made countless times over the years. It's called Hungarian Goulash. It's all of 8 ingredients. Ingredients that I'm sure are commonplace in your kitchen. If not, they're easily attainable at any grocery store. We serve this dish over noodles, usually small shells or ditalini sized pasta. This time, I served it over Cappellos Almond Flour Fettuccine (which is awesome by the way!), making this dish totally Paleo and SO incredibly easy.I hope you try it. It's definitely comfort food and was perfect on this blizzardy night!
Hungarian Goulash
1 lb. ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1.2 cup thinly sliced celery
1 clove garlic, minced
1 can (16 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
2 tsp. paprika
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp oregano leaves
Dash of cayenne, optional
1/2 lb macaroni, small sized like shells or ditalini
Directions
1. In a large saucepan, saute onion, celery, and garlic in olive oil until tender. Add ground beef and brown until no longer pink. Drain if desired
2. Add all remaining ingredients (except pasta) into pan and stir to combine. Simmer for 15-20 minutes to cook tomatoes and blend flavors.
3. In a separate saucepan, cook pasta according to directions on box. Drain and mix into goulash mixture. Serve immediately.
P.S. I top mine with Parmesan or Romano cheese. The rest of my family thinks I'm weird. Try it if you'd like!
