Mom's Goulash in the Microwave

Serving Size: 0
Categories: Main Dish, Microwave, Winter
1 pound ground beef
1 cup diced onions
1 cup sliced celery
3 teaspoons minced garlic from jar
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce
3 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon; caraway seed
4 shakes of cayenne; (or to taste)
8 ounces; (1 package) elbow macaroni

In a 2-4 quart casserole, combine ground beef, onion, celery and
garlic. Microwave on High for 5 to 6 minutes or until beef is no
longer pink, stirring once. Drain.
Add the remaining ingredients, except macaroni. Stir to blend
ingredients. Cover. Microwave on power level 8 for 14 to 16 minutes
(stirring once), until celery is tender and the flavors have blended.
Stir in macaroni (already cooked and drained). Re-cover. Microwave
on power level 8 for 2 to 3 minutes or until heated through.

There were no microwaves when my Mom made this, so she did it on the
stove top. She never gave us the recipe and I have discovered it
through trial and error. You never forget the taste! I started with a
recipe in a J.C. Penney microwave cookbook and have adjusted the
ingredients over time. If anyone is home when you are cooking, you
will have company in the kitchen! Serve with Caesar Salad, oven baked,
garlic butter French bread and red wine. Microwave temperatures vary,
so keep checking to see if these power levels work for you.
