Cheesy Goulash

Posted March 15, 2019 by Prairie Wife - 6 comments

I was reading a post on Twitter the other day where the author ranted about how people take too much time explaining the hows and whys of their recipes. It went something like “We don’t care about the farm stand down the road and memories of cooking with Grandma Betty. Just give us the recipe.” It made me laugh and today I’m following their advice. This is a quick and easy school night meal I came up with last week out of sheer desperation…and everyone loved it. The End

Cheesy Goulash

Salt and Pepper to taste

1. Start heating water for pasta and add macaroni when water is boiling, drain when it’s finished and set aside.
2. Begin browning meat in a deep skillet.
3. While meat is browning chop up garlic, pepper, and onion.
4. Turn down the heat for meat and add vegetables, stirring occasionaly until onions are translucent.
