GOULASH AMERICAN STYLE MY WAY

I looked through all, many similar, but mine enough different I decided it warranted being submitted separately. My granddaughter wrote and asked for the recipe - what recipe? - so I wrote back and told her how I usually made it. But it's a little different now. I wish I'd had some green and red peppers but passed them up at the store. It turned out nice but am hoping the flavors will blend together overnight. I make my Italian meat sauce similarly but use garlic and Italian spices which I don't for this. I used 2 packets of Swanson Flavor Boost, and the editor will not recognize it. It's very concentrated broth and new on the market.

Time 45m

Yield 1 large skillet full, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 lbs ground beef (I got Amana Angus, can't say it's all that different but didn't have to drain grease off)
1/2 medium onion, cut up
2 1/2 cups uncooked creamette medium pasta shells
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon Lawry's Seasoned Salt
1/4 teaspoon schilling seasoned pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2-3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
tomato paste, can of water plus about 1/2 can more

Steps:

  • Start cooking the pasta shells in 3 quarts of boiling water to which a few drops of salad oil and a little salt were added; stir occasionally.
  • Cook eleven minutes for well done, drain, don't rinse, set aside.
  • Next I browned the onions in some margarine and scraped into small dish to set aside until the meat is browned.
  • Turned up the heat and put in the ground beef, started breaking it up with spatula.
  • Continued to brown the beef and break up with a little cookie-cutter type chopper with sharp, scalloped teeth (use whatever you prefer as a utensil.
  • Brown to me is parts are actually a nice brown, not just stirring around until all the pink is gone; it helps with the flavor.
  • When beef was browned to my satisfaction, put the onions back into the skillet with the browned, broken-up beef.
  • Added the tomato paste, diced tomatoes and water, stirred on low heat.
  • Add the flavor booster and did a taste test because it's salty, just right.
  • To avoid over salting,I didn't use any salt except what I boiled the shells in until I added the booster (it's concentrated).
  • Add the seasoned salt, seasoned pepper blend, parsley, Worcestershire sauce and cheese.
  • If it's too thick, add a little more water; if too watery, cook it down while stirring, doesn't take long.
  • Can be eaten right away, baked in oven, frozen, or made a day ahead.
  • Add ground pepper to taste when served.

I have been making this for years and my family loves it. *It's a dish you can add anything too if you like. A good dish if you had a busy day and want to get out of the kitchen in a hurry. Made in one pot, so not a lot of clean up involved. Serve with garlic bread and a salad....Yummy *Some of the things that are great to...
