Super Simple Family Style Goulash

From the Myers Family Cookbook

 I say "super simple", not "super easy". I mean, you do have to brown the beef and cook the macaroni. But you only need three ingredients. To me, that's super simple!

You can use lean ground beef or you may sometimes want to use ground turkey, which is both lean and usually more economical. 

Makes about eight servings (or you can cut amounts in half - for less):

2 pounds lean ground beef or ground turkey
2 pounds dry elbow macaroni (or about 8 cups dry elbows)
1 24 oz jar spaghetti sauce

Brown and stir ground beef (or ground turkey) in a large frying pan over medium heat.

Fill a Dutch oven with water and bring to a boil. Carefully add the macaroni and cook until tender. Drain in a colander and leave it there for now.

Put the spaghetti sauce in the bottom of the pan in which you cooked the macaroni. Add the beef. Then add the macaroni from the colander. Stir gently but thoroughly.

Heat the goulash on low to medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through.

Serve with a salad or vegetable.
