serves/makes:

ready in:
under 30 minutes

ingredients

1 1/2 cup uncooked elbow macaroni
1/2 pound lean ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion, chopped
1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
3 cups low sodium tomato juice
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon chili powder

directions

Cook the pasta in boiling water for 7 minutes (it will be al dente, do not overcook it). Drain well and set aside.

Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, onion, and bell pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the meat is cooked and the vegetables are tender. Drain off any excess grease.

Add the tomato juice, garlic powder, black pepper, chili powder, and cooked macaroni. Mix well. Let the goulash come to a simmer and cook until most of the liquid has been absorbed.

Serve the Mexican goulash hot.
