Hamburger Stew-Amy

This soup is just a little bit spicy! Jordan and I like it that way, but I don't think most people would. For first time makers, I would add less taco seasoning than it calls for at first and add more later if you want it. Very good and very simple!

1 pound ground beef
1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
1 (10.75 ounce) condensed tomato soup
3 3/4 cup water
1 cup chopped onion (can add less)
4 carrots, chopped (as many as looks good)
3 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 (15 ounce) can pork n' beans

In a large pot, brown ground beef and drain off fat. Add remaining ingredients and simmer on low for about 30 minutes (or until veggies are tender), adding more water if needed. Serve!

Goulash Supreme-Amy

1 1/2 cup macaroni (I use whatever pasta I have, doesn't matter)
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 quart (~30 oz) stewed tomatoes
2 tsp paprika
1 TBS chili powder
1 clove garlic, minced
6 ounces tomato paste (optional)

1) In a medium pot, bring water to a boil and add pasta. Cook until done and drain water.
2) While pasta is cooking, brown ground beef and onion in a large saucepan. Drain fat. Add cooked pasta, tomatoes, paprika, chili powder, garlic and tomato paste. Heat until warm and serve!
