Lucille Ball's Goulash
"She served with garlic bread and lettuce with 3 different dressings. Iceberg lettuce is crisp and pulls apart, never cut lettuce! Served with either Roquefort, French or Thousand Island dressing."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Cook noodles in heavily salted boiling water until al dente (just barely cooked they are going to finish in the sauce)
Step 2
Drain, saving 1/2 cup pasta water.
Step 3
Cook 2 pounds of ground beef in a bit of butter.
Step 4
Season lightly.
Step 5
Then she adds bunches of green onions, a pair of chopped green peppers (they were smaller back then) and some garlic before bringing the mixture to a slow simmer.
Step 6
Next, she adds one large can of “solid pack tomatoes” and their juice, keeping that simmer going.
Step 7
She seasons the dish with salt and pepper to taste and simmered for 30 minutes, adding pasta water if needed.
Step 8
During the last half hour of cooking, she adds cooked, strained egg noodles. (I would add 10 minutes left).
Step 9
She also recommends adding a touch of Accent—a classic brand of MSG seasoning.
