Goulash (Mac, Noodles, Hamburger, Sausage, Onion, Garlic, Italian seasoning, Can of stewed Tomatoes or Spaghetti Sauce, Chicken broth) Fast and Ez.
You can also add Mushrooms and or red, yellow, green Peppers, Olives etc.

INGREDIENTS:
1 lb Burger.(or use half mild Italian Sausage and half Hamburger.).
1 chopped Onion ( 1 1/2 c).
Evoo for sautéing
2-4 cloves garlic minced.
1-2 tsp Italian season
Salt and pepper.
1 tsp Chili Powder.
1 medium jar spaghetti sauce like Rao’s or Bertolli with chunks of Tomatoes in it .
3 cups chicken broth
16 oz Macaroni.
1 Bay Leaf

OPTIONAL:
Green Peppers.
Mushrooms.
Scallions for Garnish.
Olives
Parmesean

DIRECTIONS:
Brown the Hamburger, and Sausage if your using it. drain fat off. Add the Macaroni.
Add the broth, throw in raw Onion Garlic and seasoning. Stir, and then pour Sauce/Tomatoes on top. Do not stir.
Put the lid on, and turn the vent to sealing. Set the time to 4 min. When it is done and beeps, start with Controlled release to be sure that it’s not going to Spit and then finish with QR.

Open the Pot and turn it off and then back on again to Sauté med. Stir it up. Let sauté till Mac is done and Broth has been absorbed in the Pasta. You can also turn this into mock/lazy lasagna by serving with Mozzarella Ceese and a glop of Cottage Cheese in the Bowl.
You can add Olives if you want, or even add fresh Spinach to it after its all cooked ( it takes about 30 seconds).

sauté Hamburger. This can also be done on stove top. See next picture.
Sometimes I sauté the meat on the stovetop.
Adding raw onions, garlic, meat, broth and noodles together under the liquid on the bottom insures that the noodles will get cooked (add mushrooms at this point if you want them in) adding the sauce on top keeps the burn notice from turning on. Add it on top and do not stir.
Pour Sauce or Tomatoes on top. This will prevent the Burn notice.
This is what it will look like when you first open it up.
Macaroni will continue to absorb liquid after it’s done. Just give it a stir.
Here is a pic of a different Batch. You can totally work with the basic recipe.
