Gordon's Goulash

To the best of my knowledge, this is a family recipe. I don't think anyone will be offended by my sharing this, and it really is quite tasty. If I understand correctly, this was invented by my paternal grandmother.

Gordon's Goulash

Base:
1 lb of hamburger
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium - large green pepper, chopped.
12 oz rotini noodles, cooked

Sauce
1 can tomato paste (12 0z size)
1/3 c. ketchup
1/3 - 1/2 c. Spicy BBQ sauce*
1 - 2 T. worechestershire sauce
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 T. sugar

Directions:

Fry the hamburger and onion. During the last few minutes, add the green pepper so that it remains a little crisp. Drain and set aside.

Mix the sauce to taste. (Used 1/3 c plus 1 T of BBQ sauce and almost 2 T. worechestershire sauce).

Add ground beef and heat through. Stir into cooked rotini noodles. Serve.

To double, you have to add another can of tomato paste or it won't taste right.

* The recommended BBQ brand is Open Pit Original BBQ Sauce. If you can't find it, go with something tangy or spicy.
