Here is an easy meal that the whole family will love. This dish has a great flavor and it’s a healthy recipe. So why would the whole family like it you ask? It’s because for this meal I use a little trick of mine that works on my family; I blend the tomatoes to get rid of the tomato chunks. My husband and my daughter both hate tomato chucks so I blend the tomatoes up to avoid hearing my family say: “Yucky!” “Why are these chunks in here?” and “I’m not hungry.” Now all I hear is, “This is awesome!” I use this same trick for my Old Fashioned Chili and it works like a charm. Wait a minute! This meal gets better! This dish is called One-Pan Spiral Goulash for a reason; it only gets one pan dirty!
So lets get started on this easy recipe. In a large pan or in a pot brown your onion and 1 pound of ground beef until the meat is no longer pink.
Blend your 2 cans of stewed tomatoes in the blender.
Stir in the blended stewed tomatoes, pasta, sugar, chili powder, salt, and garlic powder.
Bring to a boil then reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes or until the pasta is tender. Now you can serve with cheddar cheese on top of it if you wish. And there you have it… an easy meal for a weeknight when you don’t have a lot of time to cook.
