Hamburger Goulash

Sometimes you just need a quick and easy dinner.  Something the kids will eat without complaint but that you will enjoy as well.  It needs to be full of hearty ingredients and flavorful.  This is that dinner for our family.  I actually get "yes!" comments from my boys when I say this is what we'll be eating for dinner.

Hamburger Goulash

1 pound ground beef
1 onion
3 cups macaroni
2 small cans tomato sauce
2 (14 oz) cans chopped or crushed tomatoes
1 tsp salt
2 Tbsp sugar
2 cups cheese, grated
Garlic powder
Freshly ground black pepper

Brown the ground beef and onion until meat is cooked through and onion is translucent.  I always cook mine with salt and pepper.  Once it all cooked through drain and rinse it.

While the meat is cooking, boil macaroni until cooked to desired doneness.  Drain.

Combine macaroni and meat.  Add tomatoes and sauce, salt, sugar, pepper, garlic.  Once its heated through add cheese and stir to melt.  Serve to a happy crowd!
