When macaroni reaches desired tenderness, remove from heat and drain. Return the macaroni to the pot, then add the ground beef and onion mixture and corn. Mix thoroughly.

    Very good! I used real garlic instead of powder. I ran out of ketchup so only used half and substituted spaghetti sauce for the rest, but I think it would've been overpowering with the full dose of ketchup. My picky husband loved it. - 7/25/08

    Im going to try this this week but I'm going to use tomato sauce and probably add fresh parmesan cheese on top. Will post the results :) - 6/4/12

    This is super tasty. I agree that the ketchup flavor could be a little much, but that is easy to fix if you don't care for it. We halved the recipe and it was still tons! Very fulling & yummy. - 8/3/08

    I thought that it was good, but my husband doesn't care for ketchup. But it sure worked with my picky kids. - 3/4/08

    This Goulash was just awful. The ketchup was way over powering. When it was done I had to fix it by watering it down and also adding tomato sauce into it to cover up the ketchup taste and smell. If I ever make it again it will be without the ketchup and substituted with tomato sauce. - 9/30/14

    When I go to create a recipe make over I noticed that the measurements on the beef and the ketchup are incorrect. When originally calculated it has 28 ounces of meat. 2 lbs would actually be 32 ounces. The ketchup also shows 16 tablespoons which is only 1 cup. For 2.5 cups it should actually be 40T - 4/17/14

    I thought it was good, but husband didn't care for it. Probably more ketchup than was really needed. Note: My little dog loves it! - 3/6/12

    GREAT! The spices were wonderful!! I did change some things. Instead of ketchup I used a 28oz can of crushed tomatoes, left out the corn, and added a bell pepper. Only used 3/4 lb lean ground beef, 2 tsp. brown sugar and 8 oz elbow macaroni. - 2/9/11

    Like the recipe but did not use the ketchup or brown sugar. I also added a tomato. Will make again. - 1/11/10

    Ok, I made 16oz of shell pasta because I couldn't find 20oz in my pantry, I substituted a can of diced tomatoes for the ketchup, didn't have any brown sugar and doctored it up with my Spice House creole seasoning and some ground mustard and this is AWESOME!! - 1/5/10

    I didn't make this correctly - came back to read the recipe and laughed. Browned beef, celery and onions, added the macaroni and used tomatoe juice and worchester, S&P. Really good and nothing like the recipe. But delicious! - 12/2/09
