American Goulash, Aka Calico Casserole

"American goulash is usually referred to in the midwestern and southern United States as simply "goulash". In the Inland Northwest around Spokane, it is a common school and home dish simply called "macaroni hamburger and tomato". It has also been called American Chop Suey. Whatever you call it, it is a tasty and inexpensive one-dish meal that lends itself to variations."
