Goulash - Newfie Style

By Peggie

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups dry elbow macaroni
• 1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1/2-1 cup diced onions
• 1 cup diced peppers
• 2 cups sliced mushrooms or 1 can sliced mushroom, drained
• 1 1/2 cups veggie burger
• 1 can tomato sauce or soup
• 1 cup grated cheese, optional

Preparation

Step 1

Cook macaroni in lightly salted water according to package directions. Drain and rinse macaroni and leave in strainer while cooking the vegetables.

In the cooking pot, add the vegetable oil, onions, peppers and mushrooms. Sauté until tender crisp. Add the veggie burger and heat through. (If using real hamburger meat, cook it first and then add the vegetables.) Return cooked macaroni to pot and mix well with the vegetable mixture. Pour on the tomato sauce or soup. Mix well and heat through. If desired, serve with grated cheese.

The Goulash is ready to eat as is, but I like to place the mixture in a baking dish and sprinkle the top with cheese and bake at 350 dgrees until the goulash is hot through and the cheese is melted, about 30 minutes. This is particularly good if you have to make the dish ahead of time.
