Grandmas Old Fashion Goulash

• 

Being From The South, We Have Alot of Unique and Flavorful Dishes. One off My Favorites That My Grandma Used To Make Was Called “Goulash” . It Basically Was A End of The Week Meal Where She Would Use Leftovers & Throw Everything into One Big Pot & Add Pasta. Now That ive Moved Out On My Own, I Find Myself Experimenting With Her Recipes & Trying To Critique Them into My Own Custom Dish. I Started Rummaging Thru My Fridge Looking For Whatever Vegetables I Could Throw in the Pot. For Almost All My Dishes, I Start With A Green Onion & Bell Pepper. As I Dug Some More I Came Across Some Leftover Spinach, Yellow Squash, and Ground Turkey Meat. Perfect to Start With!

Here is A Full List Of ingredients :

• 1 Yellow Onion
• 1 Green Bell Pepper
• 1/2 Bag of Fresh Spinach
• 1/2 Bag Frozen Sliced Squash
• 1 Box Elbow Macaroni
• 1 Can of Diced Tomato
• 1 Can Tomato Sauce
• 1 Can Tomato Paste
• 1 Pound Ground Turkey
• 1/2 Stick of Better Or Spoonful of Olive Oil
• Your Preferred Seasoning
• 1-2 Spoonfuls of Sugar

Cooking Instructions :

Before Cooking, I Like To Start Off By Sanitizing & Cleaning Off My Kitchen Surfaces w/ Hot Water & Clorox, and Then I Chop Up My Onions & Bell Peppers. I Dont Always Dice Them, Sometimes I Like To Leave Them A Little Chunky to Keep it Hearty. In A Skillet, I Add Some Butter or Olive Oil and Begin to Saute’ My Veggies. As My Onion & Bell Peppers Get Soft I Start To Mix My Spinach. Everybodys Taste Buds Are Different So I Dont Usually the List Seasonings That I Use But I Do include Them in My Recipe; That Way When You Make it You Can Customize it To Whatever Works For Your Palette. Also, in The South We Really Use Measuring Utensils, We Just Say ” A Sprinkle of This and a Dash of That”. To Season My Vegetables I Used A Sprinkle of Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning & Garlic Powder. While The Veggies Were Cooking, I Dumped My Tomato Sauce, Diced Tomatoes, & Tomato Paste in A Large Pot and Mixed All My ingredients. To Cut The Acidity I Added About 1 or 2 Spoonfuls of Sugar as Well as Season Salt Then Mixed Well. Once My Veggies Are Soft Enough, I Add Them to My Sauce Mix and Begin to Scramble My Meat Which is Also Seasoned With Tony Chacheres , A Little Onion Powder & A Tad Bit of Garlic Salt. After The Meat Gets Nice and Brown I Add it To The Sauce Mix and Let in Cook For Awhile On Medium with the Lid on So The Flavor Can Cook & Blend Together Stirring Occasionally. After About 10-15 Mins Add A Cup or 2 Of Water & Add Your Elbow Pasta to Cook Until Al Dente. Once Everything is Nice & Cooked All The Way its Time to Serve! I Like To Pile Mine Up in A Bowl then Sprinkle Some Shredded Cheddar Cheese on Top, Because Cheese Makes Everything Better Right?
