Delish! We call this "noodle mix" in our house. The only changes I make: Rather than use a separate pot to cook the noodles, I just add them with all the tomato stuff, and then add 3 cups of water. The noodles cook through, there is less to clean, and everyone is happy. In addition, since my family likes sweet and sour foods, I sometimes add some sugar, or today I used a few tbl of pure maple syrup, and it was delicious. Thanks for putting it up for everyone.

This was good...followed the recipe as written except used fusilli and no green pepper (didn't have one). I added some basil and next time will probably enhance it with more spices.

This was a hearty, warm, weeknight meal that fills up bellies and leaves you feeling comforted. It is very lightly seasoned if you follow the recipe so kick it up a notch with more seasonings like italian seasoning or go the spicy route and do chili powder. Whatever you prefer. I think it definitely needs additional seasonings but it has nice texture and flavors. The corn makes it unique to other goulash recipes I have tried. I had no problem with the sauce. It was a stick to the noodles kind of sauce and I am ok with that. Thanks riffraff. Enjoy! ChefDLH

This was a great dinner for us this evening! I used basil, garlic, and oregano flavored tomatoes and mini piccolini instead of macaroni. I will be adding this to the cookbook :)

This was good!!I had to use stewed tomatoes instead of plain since that was what I had on hand, as well as 8 oz of tomato sauce and 1 can of paste...Turned out wonderfully despite the substitutions! I will be making this again!Thanks so much!

This is good stuff, and I use it as a base recipe. I usually make the following changes: replace the beef with grounded vegetarian seitan log, (Recipe #275998), increase the garlic to 1 head, add red pepper flakes, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and bbq sauce. Sometimes I cut the tomato sauce in half or leave it out completely. This is cheap, makes lots, and tastes great - even better the next day. Thank you for this recipe.

Very Good Recipe! I didn't realize I was out of tomoato sauce so I used the same amount of spaghetti sauce instead. We also omitted the corn and served it on the side. Thanks for sharing! :)
