Tex-Mex Goulash

Submitted by LARavenscroft

"This is my own take on Goulash that my mother used to make when I was growing up. What she made was only ground beef, onions, tomato juice and macaroni. I've dressed it up a little bit and it's something that I can make at a drop of the hat because I usually have all the ingredients on hand."

Made this tonight for dinner because I had to work a meeting after work and needed something quick and tasty! This came together easily and tasted very good. I let the dish sit over low heat for about 30 minutes to let the spices meld....ended up adding a bit more cayenne pepper to increase the heat. The cinnamon flavor came through easily, and added a little something special. Thanks for sharing! Made for Zaar Stars.

This recipe taste great with the spices. I omitted the chopped tomatoes cause I forgot to buy a can. I found it pretty easy to do. Thanks Lori. Made for 123 hit wonders

TY for a great meal for any week-night. This went together really quite fast and I love all-in-one meals anyway. So hearty and filling. Served up with some garlicbread and the fam was good to go. Omitted the black beans per family's request but otherwise followed your directions exactly. The cinnamon was a great little addition that I have never included in my goulash b/f. The taste came thru nicely. Glad I tagged for " Went to the Market" tag game.

This made for a great weeknight dinner! Added more chili powder and used dried black beans that we cooked beforehand. Thanks! :)
