Hugarian Goulash

Ingredients:

1 lb of lean ground beef
1 lb of ground pork
2 medium yellow onions, diced
5 cloves of garlic, minced
28 oz of whole canned tomatoes (San Marzano), squeezed
28 oz of tomato sauce
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp garlic powder
1 cup of water
2 bay leaves
16 oz elbow macaroni, cooked al dente

Directions:

 

Begin by browning your ground meat in a large pot. Once browned, drain any fat, and return to the stove. Next, add the onions and garlic, and cook for about another five minutes with the meat. Add salt and pepper and mix. Add in the whole tomatoes, squeezing them as you place them in the pot. Add in your tomato sauce, the oregano, basil, sugar, garlic powder, and worcestershire sauce and give a good stir. Add in the cup of water, cover, and reduce the heat to a medium, low heat.

Cook your noodles according to the box. When they are cooked, drain, and set aside. When you are ready to serve, locate and remove the bay leaves. Add the noodles into the meat sauce, making sure you incorporate all of the ingredients. Serve in a bowl, and top with grated parmesan cheese if you have it.
