Goulash here (PA)! But I’ve seen it mostly in soup form. Here’s what wikipedia has on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goulash. mmm, Italian goulash…gnocchi…

My mom used to make that when I was a kid and it didn’t really have a name but now I know it as American Chop Suey.

I’ve had this before and made it myself. It’s just like spaghetti or ziti but with elbow mac instead. I’d call it beef and macaroni bake.

My DH says its sounds like a baked spaghetti with meatsauce

I think it sounds like a burger mac

My DH is from Alaska and I’m from Maryland

My brother and I used to call it “Burger mac”. My Mom would make this often because as she put it “It’s cheap and good for you. Now shut up and eat.” LOL

Hmm, I think I am with you. To me, it sounds like a simple baked ziti, only with elbow mac. So, I would probably call it “baked macaroni” or something. I grew up in Michigan, but never really knew what goulash was.

My husband also grew up in Michigan, although his mom was from Massachusetts. I asked him if he had any concept of what goulash was, and he said, “Ummm, some sort of Eastern European stew thing?”

That’s probably what I would have thought, too – so here’s 2 votes from non-Southerners for your side!

Sounds like Goulash to me. Maybe it is a Midwest thing (since I am originally from MI).
