Goulash Casserole

• 1.5 lb Hamburger
• 1 Medium Diced Onion (optional)
• 4 C. Mushrooms, Sliced
• 3 T. Butter
• 2 tsp. Garlic, separated
• 4 C. Uncooked Elbow or Rotini Noodles (about 10 oz)
• 1.5 lb Package Frozen/Refrigerated Cheese Tortellini
• 2 Cans (14oz each) Diced Tomatoes
• 3 Cans (8oz each) Tomato Sauce
• 1 1/2 tsp. Salt
• Pepper to taste
• 1 tsp. Basil
• 1/2 tsp. Oregano
• Grated or Shredded Cheese (optional)

Over medium high heat fry Hamburger (in chunks) and Onions until burger is done. Set aside.

In separate frying pan, cook Mushrooms in Butter and 1 tsp. Garlic until browned. Set aside.

Bring large pot of salted water to boil. Add Elbow or Rotini to water and cook until al dente (usually 10-15 minutes, follow time chart on package). Add Tortellini to water about 3 minutes before pulling Elbow/Rotini Noodles off heat. Tortellini cooks super fast even if it's still frozen. When Tortellini floats, remove pasta from heat and drain.

Preheat oven to 350

In a small bowl stir together Tomatoes, Tomato Sauce, 1 tsp. Garlic, Salt, Pepper, Basil and Oregano.

Mix Burger, Pasta and Sauce Mixture all together in a 10x15 Baking Dish. Sprinkle top with cheese if using.

Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes (until thoroughly warmed through)
