    4. 6 cups of water? Is this a soup? Do you mean 6 oz? I don't understand your measurements. I just made soup. Perhaps I can try it again sometime.

    5. Yes, I followed the Wolfe's recipe as described. I was worried as I poured 6-cups of water into my 6 quart dutch oven (it came almost to the top of the pot). After letting it simmer 30min, then adding the mac-elbows I knew it would be OK. It turned out great!

    6. I have looked for a goulash recipe from my you that my parents made. I used this recipe and just made a few adjustments. First, switch the meat to 1.5 80/20 ground meat, .5 sweet sausage, the water is spot on don't change. The other big difference was my parent's was spicy and a creamy texture. To accomplish this I add 1 tablesoon smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon paprika, .5 tablespoon cayenne pepper when adding water step. Followed recipe otherwise to the letter until end. After the elbow macaroony is cooked I add 1 cup sour cream, 1 cup shredded cheese and 1/4 cup franks. The recipe now is more of what I recall or the spicy Hungarian goulash. Again water and tomatoes are perfect. Enjoy either way.

    8. I made the changes mentioned above also, turned out great! I did add a whole tablespoon of cayenne, I love the heat. I did not add the cheese or franks, just included the paprika and sour cream, it is delicious!!

  14. Wonderful recipe but i did not have a pot big enough to hold all plus 6 c water, so i mad at macaroni separately then added to sauce. Might be too dry, i will get a bigger pot next time.

  15. I came across the video on YouTube last night and bookmarked this page so I could try the recipe. You think you could make the recipes easier to print? If it's here, I couldn't find it.

  19. I made this, and it turned out fantastic. Only thing I did... as I like a little more flavor in mine, was used 4 cups beef broth and only 2 cups water. It gave it a richer flavor. Topped with a bit of cheese when done... was amazing. Thanks for this!

  23. I veganized this recipe and it turned out great!! I was hesitant to cook the macaroni in the mix instead of doing it separately and was very pleased with the results. This is a wintertime favorite and with a bit of changing amounts of ingredients can be a soup.
