Some Valentine's Goulash

The initial plan was to go to the store today and buy steaks, or lobster, and other fancy things for dinner. However, it feels like we've been running nonstop, so today has been spent mainly on the couch. We did make it to church, but that was the only outing, and I don't mind it one bit! I'm not ready to face another week of job-hunting, so I needed today to relax.

So tonight I'm making my mother-in-laws goulash recipe. If you as her about it, she'll say it's "not much of a recipe". It might be simple, but it is delicious and a forever favorite in this Kidd house.


Goulash
servings: alot! I've never really counted but it makes a bunch!

46 ounces canned tomato juice
1 packet sloppy joe seasoning mix
1 lb ground beef
1 small box elbow macaroni (or about 1/2 - 3/4 of a 1 lb box)

Brown ground beef and drain off excess fat.

Pour tomato juice over ground beef and add sloppy joe seasoning packet. Mix well and warm over medium heat until bubbly.

In a separate pot, cook macaroni in salted water. Drain and rinse macaroni and add to beef mixture. Heat through.

Best when served with corn bread.

Happy Valentine's Day!!!
