Hamburger Goulash

Directions

1. 1
   Brown meat in a large frying pan.
2. 2
   While meat is browning saute in the chopped onion, celery, bell pepper & minced garlic.
3. 3
   Drain off any excess fat after the mixture is fully cooked.
4. 4
   Add the stewed tomatoes, tomatoe sauce, corn and seasonings.
5. 5
   Cover and simmer on low while macaroni is cooking.
6. 6
   I cook the macaroni in salted water until it is firm -- uncovered for about 6 to 7 minutes after the water returns to a rolling boil.
7. 7
   This keeps the macaroni from becoming mushy after being added into the meat mixture.
8. 8
   Drain the cooked macaroni and add to the meat mixture and simmer for about 5 more minutes.
9. 9
   Adjust seasoning if needed.
