Campfire Goulash

It's fall and that means it's time for comfort food.  There is little more comforting when the weather cools down than hearty soups and stews.  Goulash or Beef Tomato Macaroni Soup is a classic.  Most everyone may have their own recipe, but we hope you will give ours a try.  Our recipe has evolved over the years and ended up with this version being the "keeper"  Especially on our Pappy's Campfire Cooker.  Wood-fired Goulash is on a whole other level!!  This recipe makes a very large pot, but even that didn't last long around here, it was devoured! 

Seriously, do you not want to dive in head first into that bowl of awesome?  I'm writing this post after we've eaten it all, so I'm a bit sad right now, sniff.  Well let's get to it!

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 lbs. ground beef
• 1/2 cup fresh diced onions or 2 TB dried minced onions
• 3 tsp minced garlic
• 2 - 32 oz cartons beef broth
• 2- 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes
• ½ cup ketchup
• 4 TB Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp Oregano or Italian seasoning
• 2 cups dry macaroni
• 1 TB whole grain garlic mustard (we use the Private Selection brand from Kroger)
• 2 TB Paprika 
• Salt & Pepper to taste
• Cheese for topping, Parsley for garnish if desired.

DIRECTIONS:

1.  If you have followed this blog and own a Pappy's Campfire Cooker... you know the drill.  Light your fire and attach the Kettle Hook.
2. In large Dutch Oven or Cast Iron Stock Pot, brown the ground beef, and garlic until beef is cooked through, drain grease.
3. Add all other ingredients, except for dry macaroni. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 15 minutes
4. Add the dry macaroni and let cook for 12-15 minutes until al dente. Top with cheese & parsley, if desired.
