Easy ground beef recipes are my favorite accomplishment. Lol, for me they are simple as I like ground beef more than most everything else. If I had to choose one food it would be ground beef as it’s tasty and it’s so easy to blend it in with different things.
While I’m not a formally trained chef I have been cooking my own food for over 55 years. My grandmother started teaching me to cook at age 4 and the first thing she taught me was to fry a hamburger on the stove. I stood on a chair to flip the burgers and I learned to stay away from spattering grease. Cheeseburgers are my favorite meal that’s made from ground beef.
If you’re really ambitious you can get a couple of packages of Jiffy Cornbread mix and following the instruction on the box throw it in the oven about 20 minutes before the beef goulash is done. Cornbread goes very well with this tasty ground beef casserole.
A slight variation is to use macaroni instead of the noodles. Use two cups of uncooked macaroni. To use the macaroni in this beef casserole recipe you have to cook it first as unlike the noodles it will add a bad taste if the macaroni isn’t cooked first.
To cook the macaroni put in in a large sauce pan with enough water to cover all the macaroni by about 2 inches. Let it boil for approx 7 minutes and then drain the macaroni and rinse it well. When you have it drained and rinsed add it to the ground beef and tomato mixture in the dutch oven.
