American Goulash image

Basic recipe is from 12 Tomatoes, I omitted the first step which called for the pasta to be cooked to al dente, which in my opinion caused the pasta to be overcooked when added to the beef mixture and cooked for an additional 6-8 minutes. That being said, this is the closest to the goulash from my childhood that I remember so very fondly that I have ever found.
