Basic Goulash
Simple and easy meal, I like this, on my to cook list. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 250 grams dry elbow macaroni, (I would go with 500 grams, but that is just me)
- 750 grams ground beef, OR minced pork, OR ground chicken
- 1 large onion, diced
- 2 cans whole peeled tomatoes, chopped plus juice, see Step 1
- 2 tablespoons ketchup, OR use Chili and Garlic Sauce, OR make from a shortcut
- tomato juice, as needed
- salt, pepper, chili powder, to taste
Instructions
- Instead of using canned tomatoes, certainly use fresh plum tomatoes, about 8 of them, chop, but you will need to add tomato juice.
- Cook the macaroni to package directions, just before it is done.
- Meanwhile, cook the onion and ground meat in a pot until done, drain the fat and return to the pot. Add seasoning to your taste, the tomatoes, and the ketchup, mix then add the macaroni. Simmer for about 10-20 minutes until heated through. Add tomato juice as needed. Serve with a salad and you have a meal.
Notes
Ground beef would cost about 150-200 Baht/750 grams, pork would be about 90 Baht, chicken even less. Going on 200 Baht for beef, the cost per serving, for 6 servings is 98 cents per serving, less for minced pork or ground chicken.
Shortcut: Ketchup.
