Mexican Goulash

This is another varation of Golulash with the addition of chili and cumin.
Using tomato juice may seem strange but it works great in recipes like this.


1/2 lb lean ground beef
1/2 cup onion; chopped
1/4 cup green pepper; chopped
3 cup tomato juice; hunt's no salt
1 1/2 cup raw macaroni
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cumin

Add Macaroni to boiling water and cook for 7 minutes. Cook the first 3 ingredients in cast-iron skillet until meat is brown and vegetables are tender. Drain off fat. Add tomato juice, macaroni, and spices. Simmer until liquid is almost absorbed.

Note: Served with a salad, this makes a delicious meal.
