shell pasta goulash
(3 ratings)
One year at my kids' annual 4-H club's annual mystery menu dinner (that's a story in itself, if you want to ask about it!) another mom made this dish, or one very similar to it. I never got the recipe from her, but I remembered that the recipe was popular with everyone, contained shell pasta and was spicier than most goulash dishes I'd ever eaten. I have tried many times to replicate it, and finally came up with a close combination of modern goulash ingredients that we really enjoy. Hope you do, too!

3Prepare a 8 X 11 inch dish with vegetable spray. Mix meat and pasta well in dish. Dish will nearly be filled. Add in cans of tomato soup and tomatoes with chilies. Mix in, making sure to coat meat/pasta lightly with soup by stirring gently, but well. Shred the stick of mozarella string cheese and tear in to small bits, scattering over top of mixture. (This cheese will melt down through the mixture.) Sprinkle cheddar cheese over top of string cheese bits.
