Microwave Goulash by Mom
Ingredients List
-
1 (8 ounce) package uncooked elbow macaroni
-
1 pound ground beef
-
1 cup diced onion
-
1 cup sliced celery
-
1 tablespoon minced garlic
-
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
-
1 (10 ounce) can tomato sauce
-
1 tablespoon sugar
-
1 tablespoon paprika
-
1 teaspoon dried oregano
-
¼ teaspoon caraway seed
-
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
-
1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
-
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook until soft, about 8 minutes. Drain the pasta.
-
While the pasta cooks, crumble the ground beef into a 2-quart (or larger) microwave-safe dish. Add the chopped onion, celery, and garlic. Microwave on High for 5-6 minutes, or until the beef is fully cooked and no longer pink. Stir halfway through. Drain off excess fat.
-
Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, and sugar to the beef mixture, then season with paprika, oregano, caraway seeds, cayenne pepper, and salt. Cover and microwave on power level 8 for about 14 minutes, or until the celery is tender and the flavors meld together.
-
After microwaving, stir in the cooked macaroni and heat for an additional 2-3 minutes until warmed through. Serve and enjoy.
