directions to make easy ghoulash recipe

Step 1

Brown hamburger meat until it’s about halfway done. Then add your diced onions until meat is completely browned and onions are soft.

Step 2

Add 2 cans of diced tomatoes and mix together.

Step 3

Add 1 1/2 cans of tomato sauce, garlic powder and a dash of salt & pepper.

Step 4

In a separate pot, follow the directions and cook the elbow macaroni. You want to slightly undercook this pasta because it will cook a little more once you add the meat and sauce mixture.
