Comfort Food At Its Best!

Posted by admin in Comfort Food, Family Recipes

It took me years now but I’ve finally made a goulash that tastes like my grandmother’s. I’ve been trying for so long because my grammy can’t make it herself anymore. With the neuropathy in her hands and feet and the diabetes changing her diet, her recipes are but memories of comfort foods long ago….

Grammy Dixie’s Goulash. (for printable version, click here)

red bell pepper (seeded, deveined and roughly chopped)

4 c diced tomatoes

1/2 lb hamburger

1/2 diced onion

1 tsp minced galic

2 Tbsp olive oil

2 Tbsp italian herb seasoning

1`tsp sea salt

1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper

2 Tbsp tomato paste

other veggies (optional)

heat olive oil on low and add onions, cook until browned and translucent. Add garlic and heat to flavor onions and oil.

while onions are first cooking put your tomatoes, red bell pepper and herb seasoning into your blender and blend until thick and you can no longer tell the difference between the peppers and the tomatoes.

Add to the onions and and the salt, pepper and tomato paste. Then let simmer on low with the lid on.

in another pan cook up the beef until well browned and no longer pink. Drain grease and add to the sauce. Allow to keep simmering for another 20 or so minutes.

Serve over whatever pasta you have on hand. Great with macaroni noodles.
