Easy Goulash

Noodles in a mild tomato sauce with ground beef and cheese, an easy weeknight meal that's also great left over. I sometimes add frozen or thawed peas to sneak in some veggies. You can really use any kind of pasta.

Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
• ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
• 1 (10.75 ounce) can tomato soup

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 3

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes; drain macaroni and return to pot.

Step 4

Stir tomato soup and tomato sauce into the beef; pour into pot with macaroni and stir. Transfer macaroni mixture to a 1.5-quart baking dish; top with Cheddar cheese.

Step 5

Bake in preheated oven until the cheese is melted, 10 to 15 minutes.
