Bonita's kitchen-Request of the week-Goulash
Goulash is a hearty meal, this is a serving for four. When making goulash you could bake it in the oven and top with shredded cheese or the way we make it in Newfoundland and Labrador on the stove top.
This goulash is made with 1/4 cup of ketchup and you wouldn't believe the difference in the flavour it makes. Give it a try and let me know what you think, there are so many ways to make this one dish. My sister likes to add lots of colourful bell peppers in hers and corn.
You can add so many different vegetables or just make it With your basic ingredients, anyway you make this delicious dish you will go back for seconds and thirds.

Instructions
Prep time 15 minutes, cooking time 20 minutes,
PLEASE NOTE: I have a error in the video, I said 1 cup of crushed tomatoes and its 1 cup of diced or chucked tomatoes, or freshly chopped. Please except my apologies on this error. Bonita
1- Start with frying your ground beef until golden brown, topped with your onion, salt and pepper, mushrooms.
2- Continue sautéing your beef until your onions have softened, and starting to brown, then this is a good time to add your chopped garlic only cook garlic for a minute or so never let burn.
3- In a small saucepan half full with water start boiling on medium heat with a pinch of salt and olive oil.
4- Then add your macaroni, boil until your noodles are part cooked this will take 10 to 15 minutes.
5- When cooked drain water and add a dash of olive oil, place back on your stove top with the heat turned off.
6- Back to ground beef start adding, chopped can tomatoes, tomato soup or sauce then ketchup mix all together.
7- Then add meat sauce to noodles at this point you will taste it to see if you need more salt or pepper, mix together you can also add any spice of your choice for your taste.
Some helpful tips: When making this dish or cooking any pasta always salt your pot water and under cook your pasta by two or three minutes because by the time you add the sause and mix it together it is prefect. This is the only time you can season your noodles is while its boiling. Also after your pasta is taken out of your pot water drizzle it with some olive oil this will keep it from sticking together. Also keep some of your pot water about 1/4 cup to add to your pasta sause it will help stick the sause to your pasta noodles.
You can never have to much information when it comes to cooking, this goes both ways I love when you give me helpful tips on what I’m making because I can share that with the rest of our viewers. Please also feel free to leave a message on my site on a meal or recipe that you like and would like to see a video made of it and we will add it to our up in coming list to make for you. If I’m not sure how to make it I will message you and do some research on the recipe to help me make the video. Thank you once again for visiting Bonita’s kitchen and have a wonderful day. Bonita
I am a bit confused. The ingredients said a can of crushed tomatoes. Then in the instructions it says a can of chopped tomatoes. I bought the crushed a they added no texture like your video shows. I was disappointed how mine turned out. My first attempt. Will use diced or stewed next time.
Hi Doreen: Thank you for your message and I’m very sorry yours didn’t turn out like the video or pictures, did you use tomato soup and the katchup as well. I’ve used both and they were the same, if you chopped the tomatoes or a can of diced or chunks. Once again I’m sorry I must have a error in that heading because I meant diced or chunks, please do try this recipe again and try the diced or stewed but don’t forget to use the canned tomato soup and ketchup for the extra flavours.I will fix the error on the recipe but it will stay the same in the video, thank you for pointing that out. Have a lovely day. Bonita
Hi Bonita, from another Doreen, I made this Goulash tonight, loved it. I used one fresh diced tomato, tomato soup, ketchup and colourful peppers etc. I could not believe how tasty this goulash was, the best ever. Thank you……….

Goulash is Raymond’s favourite and he couldn’t wait to share this one. Have a lovely day and stay safe. 🙂 Bonita
I have made this and added a 1/2 tsp chili powder . I have both used and left out the tomato if I don’t have any and each time it’s delicious. Thanks for the recipe.
HI Bess, Thank you for your message and for stopping by, that sounds lovely adding in some chili powder to the goulash. Chili powder gives it a lovely taste. It’s always nice to here from our viewers and getting their spin on the recipe.
Have a lovely day and Thank you
