American Goulash. This one is classic AMERICAN style goulash. This is a dish that was mainstay for most of us and even served at school. @Pathunt: Nicely done! I made it just as the recipe states and enjoyed it but next time around I will add a diced green pepper to the meat as it's browning and probably a shake of garlic powder to remind.
Easy, cheap and comfort food all rolled into one huge pot! (It is always called American Chop Suey here, but while I was living in LA friends called it Goulash - so I've compromised!) American Goulash is an easy old-fashioned comforting meal that is perfect for the cold winter months.
Everything cooks in the same pot, even the pasta!

I actually remember eating this in elementary school. One of my favorites back when school lunches were actually good. It's similar to what many people refer to as beef-a-roni or Chili Mac. American beef goulash is what you see here: a one-pot meal made with ground beef, pasta, tomato sauce, and cheese. Hungarian goulash, on the other hand, is more of a stew, prepared with cubes of beef (often chuck roast) and vegetables swimming in a paprika-kissed tomato broth.
