Ground Beef Goulash

this was REALLY yummy!! my dear dear boyfriend was a bit skeptical at first when i told him what i was making...needless to say, he devoured it...then finished off the leftovers the next day! the flavor of this is so tasty, yet a little unusual (maybe cuz of the soy sauce). i didn't have a green pepper so i left that out, i also only used about 1 tbsp of soy sauce (which to me was plenty), and i used a full cup of macaroni, and instead of adding a can of water, i used a can of beef broth which really enhanced the flavor of the meat...then i topped it off with shredded cheddar (again, that's what i had). to me the beauty of this recipe is that this meal really is made with simple ingredients that you almost always have on hand...nothing fancy. we loved it and i'll definitely be making it again! thanks for a fast yummy EASY recipe! :-)

This is REALLY good! It's so easy to make and it tastes fantastic. The only changes I made were that I used a pound of ground beef/pork that was left over after I made meatballs. I didn't add any salt because the soy sauce adds enough saltiness. And I used about 1 1/2 cups of elbow macaroni and just melted shredded cheddar over it. Seriously, I could eat this every day. It's so easy on the wallet, easy to make, and definitely easy to eat!

I couldn't get it to stay moist enough after I added the noodles! I added 1/2 a cup 3 times, but that probably was more user error than recipe, lol! What didnt burn was very good, even the kids liked it.
Thanks!

My DH had three helpings - so I'd say this rated at least five stars. I used half a box of shells and cheese and half of the cheese package (about 1 cup of shells.) Also didn't use the parmesan cheese as I thought there was enough cheese in with the shells & cheese. Thanks for a great, easy to make recipe.

Easy, quick and yummy! I used ground venison, reduced the soy to 1 Tbl., added a touch of basil, and topped with shredded cheddar. Wonderful dinner and even picky kids were pleased. Thanks so much.

Delicious recipe. I have made this many times now, and have developed a few changes. The 3 Tbsp. of soy sauce made the goulash a bit too salty for us, so now I only add about 1 Tbsp. I also use a can of tomato sauce, rather than tomato soup. I use a box of macaroni and cheese for the pasta and add in the powdered cheese, instead of Velveeta (less fat). Thanks for the great recipe!

I must admit...I was skeptical at first BUT then that all changed when I dug in!!! This is AMAZING!!! I used orzo pasta and added a little more water as others suggested and it turned out great. Thanks for an easy night recipe that can be made in 30 minutes.

Very Good!!! I followed this receipe exactly even with the 3 Tbsp of Kikkoman Soya sauce and I thought it was fine I think if you use a different brand of Soya you are going to get a different taste since all soya's taste differently. My kid's gobbled it up so it is definately kid approved. The only thing I did different is dice up(finely) celery and mushrooms since I have a hard time of getting one of my kid's to eat vegetables I try to hide them where I can. This was very good the first day, it was fabulous left over. It reminds me of a homemade hamburger helper but better and better for you.

I'm sorry gbmc3 and other fans, but this had too much soy sauce (I used "light" soy sauce and no salt). I only added 4 teaspoons, and the smell and taste was overwhelming. I used rice...it probably would've been better with macaroni. Just a little too strong on the soy end.

This recipe is excellent! I prepared this for my family with both macaroni noodles and with rice and my family couldn't get enough of it. I switched things up a bit and added an onion/red pepper mix instead of the chopped onion and green pepper and it was a tasty twist.

This was good. I started the receipe out exactly as posted, but to me the sauce didn't have enough flavor so I added some mustard powder, balsamic vinegar and italian seasoning. It turned out really good. Thank you for the recipe.

I tried this desperate for a quick easy -don't feel like going to the store -meal. Every one of my children turned up their noses when I put it on the table but liked it when they gave it a chance. Next time I would use 2 T. soy sauce and 1 T. worchestershire and at least twice as much maccaroni. I think it was the addition of the velveeta that saved the day for me. I'll definately keep this in mind for next time I'm in the same situation but would probably not use it for a pre-planned meal.

I was surprised how many people found this delicious...I found it rather bland. Added ketchup, mustard, worstershire and more pasta (and water). It was still only okay. The tomato soup was probably the recipe killer for me. Should have used canned tomatoes.

Awesome with ingredients on hand. No green pepper in the house so I just left it out. We like the macaroni version. Thanks for posting!

Great recipe, made this last night with the following changes: used approx 2 lb. ground beef, added fresh mushrooms with the onions and garlic, omitted the Grn. Pepper, added two 14.5 oz cans of diced tomatoes, used two cups of macaroni,a Tbs. of paprika and cheddar chs instead of velveeta. Very easy and good too, how can you beat that?
