AuthorDartagnan"why be boring? Bar Nothing Ranch Goulash uses 3 distinct pastas to give a normal weeknight dish a bit of flair, as does a small amount of Bar Nothing HOT Breakfast Sausage"
In a large pot, cook meat over medium high heat (light dusting of SPG or Counter Seasoning), breaking up the meat as it cooks into small pieces. Cook until the meat is cooked through. Drain a majority of the grease off.
OPTIONAL TECHNIQUE: Completely strain off all liquid into a small container. Place meat back in pot, place liquid in refrigerator for 10 minutes. In 10 minutes, resume cooking meat, remove separated fat from top of liquid, add small amount of gelled liquid back to pot.
Stir in the onions, mushrooms and garlic. Cook until the onions are translucent and mushrooms are soft.
Stir in water, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, Worcestershire Sauce, Kitchen Bouquet and seasonings. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in pasta.
Cover, and simmer over low heat until the pasta is tender, about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat, discard bay leaves, and refrigerate, if possible, overnight. If you must, you could serve then.
CONSIDERATION TIP: if serving immediately and still too much liquid, stir in small amounts of Zesty or Italian bread crumbs to thicken. It will thicken naturally over time. If too thick, scants amount of water until desired thickenss.
