Macaroni and ground beef (ingredients, pepper, onions, taco)

[Vectoris]

What is your favourite dish to make, using these two ingredients as a base? Is it a casserole? Or a stove-top recipe?

Goulash. Macaroni, ground beef, tomatoes/tomato sauce/whatever I have in the pantry.Sometimes I'll put it in a baking dish, put some cheese on it and put it in the oven 'til it melts, but not usually.

Layered chili cheese mac casserole.

Oh, my goulash. Yes, I loved it from my childhood. Just macaroni, ground beef, canned tomatoes, and pepper flakes. No sauce, no cheese.

Goulash!

My take on goulash. Large elbow macaroni, diced canned tomatoes, onions, salt, pepper, and lots of cheese (sharp and mild cheddar and monterey jack) baked in the oven.

Mac and cheese with the noodles - toss the ground beef away.

We don't call it goulash, but American Chop Suey. It's a New England version. Pasta, ground beef, onion, garlic, oregano, basil, crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes (any kind of tomato stuff that's in the pantry) and water to make it soupy. If you want, you can add some cottage cheese or tomato soup. You can hardly go wrong. We don't do any prefab foods here.

Fascinating. I never heard of American Goulash or Chop Suey. I have, however, eaten Hungarian goulash, and it was delicious. Something like this:

Chop Suey to me was that awful stuff in a can by Chung King.

I use ground beef to stuff my Mexican shells. Basically, ground beef, taco seasoning, a can of corn, salsa and queso, cooked up, stuffed into pre-boiled large shells, and then baked in the oven with plenty of Mexican cheese on top of it.

I don't really have a name for it but it is browned ground beef and cooked macaroni, then you add in a chunk of velveta and a can of ro-tel, melt the cheese and stir it all up.
