Re: Beef-Mac-Tomato -- What Name?

We called it goulash, but I've also heard it called beef-a-roni. It is different from Chili Mac (our Chili Mac has beans, chili powder, and cheese) and Hungarian Goulash (stew seasoned with paprika, no noodles). Three different dishes altogether.

I love hearing all the regional names for basically the same dish!

We call it goulash also. Of course for me there's no such thing as a good recipe. LOL

We call it goulash also. We always added a package of frozen corn (could use canned), sliced olives, cheese and whatever else. It then qualified as garbage goulash!!! YUM.

There is no fun in doing nothing when you have nothing to do.

Here in the South we call it Goulash too. We'd have it with fried potatoes just like with brown beans.

It was a tradition...my grandmother made it, my dad made it and I made it for my family. My boys loved it and there was never any left overs. However, it is better the second day "by golly" (My granddad was pure Swedish).

DITTO HERE, but don't forget the cornbread!

Goulash for us too! Ours was pretty basic: ground beef, onion, and some paprika, canned tomatoes and/or tomato sauce, garlic salt and pepper and macaroni. Ours didn't have a lot of macaroni though. We were big on the beef! Served with crusty french bread and garlic butter on it. And green beans or salad on the side.

We sang this song on the school bus:

We're having Beef-a-roni

It smells like old bologny

Beef-a-roni's really neat

It smell like someone's stinky feet

Hooray! For Beef-a-roni!

Sorry, we had a long ride to school!

Re: Beef-Mac-Tomato -- What Name?

My mother called it "guck" (rhymes with book). I remember my SIL saying my brother requested something for dinner called "goop" or "glop", took me a few minutes to make the connection. {#emotions_dlg.biggrin}

Mom also did something similar with rice that she called Spanish Rice.
