Growing up in Boston, I never knew that this 50's "once-a-week-at-home dinner" and "once-a-week-at-school lunch" was a regional dish! I still make this probably once every 2 weeks. Easy, cheap and comfort food all rolled into one huge pot! (It is always called American Chop Suey here, but while I was living in LA friends called it Goulash - so I've compromised!)

SERVES 8 -10 , 1 pot (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
1 large green pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon pepper
28 ounces diced tomatoes
15 ounces tomato sauce
1 lb elbow macaroni or medium pasta shell
1 cup cheddar cheese or monterey jack cheese, shredded

Directions

1
Brown ground beef, onion and pepper.
2
Season with garlic salt and pepper.
3
Add tomatoes and tomato sauce.
4
Simmer 10 minutes while macaroni is cooking.
5
Boil macaroni al dente, drain, rinse.
6
Return macaroni to pot, add beef mixture.
7
Serve in bowls with shredded cheese.
8
Even better left over and reheated (add a little tomato juice when reheating, if too dry).

We call it Goulash in the South as well, just a couple of modifications to give it a different twist. This is great for a quick easy dinner, I omitted the green pepper and used rotel instead of tomatoes and add a can of pinto beans. Great one dish meal.

I've always heard of goulash but I have never eaten it before until last night. I made this last night and my daughter and I thought it was very good! It was so simple and quick to make. The only thing that i changed was the BELL PEPPERS! Believe me we are not finicky eaters around here except for BELL PEPPERS(LOL) so of course I left them out and I did grate in 2 cloves of garlic. I was too tired last night to grate the cheese so we ate without and it was fine that way but tonight I look forward to adding the cheese. By the way this will feed an army! It made a big pot full! Thanks for sharing this recipe I will make it again and again i'm sure! =)

My family loves this recipe. We like it best when I omit the pasta and spoon the goulash over a bowl of mashed potatoes.
