SOUTHERN GOULASH

Steps:

• 1. Brown ground beef along with the chopped onion and the chopped bell pepper.
• 2. Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, and seasonings.
• 3. Then add macaroni and water.
• 4. Bring to a boil then turn to low. Stir well to be sure it isn't sticking.
• 5. Cover and simmer until the macaroni is tender and most of the water is absorbed. If it seems too dry add a little more water. If it's too liquid, just leave the top off for a little while and turn the heat up a little. The extra water will evaporate. It's usually not too moist, but sometimes you do have to add a little water. Don't overcook the pasta.
• 6. Before serving, sprinkle with the Parmesan and the cheddar cheeses.
• 7. If you used an ovenproof pan, you can run this in the oven to melt the cheese or just cover and let it melt on the stove. The cheese is something I added. My mother didn't put cheese on hers. I just happen to like cheese!
