Recipe: Goulash


I know goulash is pretty much a meal that's very common.  But I don't think I have made it before.  I asked the girls to each choose a meal for the menu for the week.  Sierra, oddly enough, said goulash and they gave me this recipe.  I made it and I mentioned that goulash is a poor person's food.  Autumn replied, "I like poor people's food - this is Gucci!"  That means excellent in teen terms.
So, I shall share the recipe with you as it is Gucci. :)

Goulash

2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced (I always do more)
1 lb. ground beef
salt
pepper
1 tbsp. tomato paste
1 1/4 cup beef broth
1 (15 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 (15 oz.) can diced tomatoes
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
1 tsp. paprika
1 1/2 cups elbow macaroni, uncooked
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil.  Add onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.  Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more.
Add ground beef and cook until no longer pink, about 6 minutes.  Drain fat and return to pan.  Season with salt and pepper.
Add tomato paste and stir to coat, then pour in broth, tomato sauce, and diced tomatoes.  Season with Italian seasoning and paprika, and stir in macaroni.  Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender, about 15 minutes.
Stir in cheese and remove from heat.

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
