Bobby's Goulash

This is a Paula Deen recipe from Good Housekeeping magazine. I scribbled it down in the doctor's office on the back of a receipt and it looks really good.

• Ready In: 1 hr
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 2  lbs ground beef
• 2  large yellow onions
• 3  garlic cloves
• 3  cups water
• 2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
• 2 (14 1/2ounce) cans diced tomatoes
• 3  tablespoons soy sauce
• 2  tablespoons  italian seasoning
• 3  bay leaves
• 1  tablespoon  paula's house  seasoning (or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder & 1/2 t. black pepper)
• 1  tablespoon seasoning salt
• 2  cups  uncooked macaroni

Directions

1. Cook the beef, drain.
2. Add onions and garlic. Saute for about 10 minutes.
3. Stir in everything else BUT the macaroni.
4. Heat to boiling, simmer 20 minutes.
5. Stir in macaroni, heat to boiling. Simmer 20 minutes.
6. Remove from heat and let sit for 30 minutes.
7. I'd be curious to see if the macaroni got overdone with these cooking/sitting times. I think that I'd check it after that last 20 minute simmer. Also, I'm not sure about the measurements for the alternative house seasoning. That's what the magazine said, but I bet it will need more than 1/2 teaspoons of each.
