Are you a French Onion Soup fan? You are going to love this easy and delicious one-pot Pasta dish. Caramelized Onions, Beef Broth, and Pasta cooked stove-top, covered with cheese, and given a brief moment under the broiler. All the flavors you love in a filling pasta dish instead of a soup.
What to do when you failed to work on your Weekly Menu as scheduled, it is nearing 6 pm and you have no idea what to make? This is the quandary in which I found myself tonight.
First I thought to make a quick stir fry but when I went into the freezer to look for shrimp I was disappointed. However I did find a package of stew meat, frozen solid. Luckily I have an instant pot and this recipe for Instant Pot Goulash was created.
While the instant pot did it's work I decided I better get a Weekly Menu planned so this doesn't happen again tomorrow night. Normally I plan and post my Menu on Saturdays but this past Friday knocked us for a loop when Frank had to have emergency surgery and needed to go for his post op check at the office located quite a distance from us. This meant a 3 hr. round trip plus the time spent in the office.
When we got home Saturday, I threw together BLT's and Corn on the Cob. Sunday, John and our friend, Gary went to pick up the new grill we bought before the emergency surgery. When they returned with the grill we had Kirsten and Gary's wife, Jackie, come over and threw some burgers on.
Today was another Dr. appt. when we got home, the Teen wanted to go shopping so back into the car I went. When I got home the second time I was faced with the dilemma as described above. So I got to work and here is the Weekly Menu for the rest of the week.

Perfect for those nights when you forgot to plan dinner. Frozen stew meat, canned tomatoes and chiles, onion and Italian herbs go into the Instant Pot to make the base for this easy and delicious Goulash. You will be sitting down to dinner in one hour.

How to cook Instant Pot Goulash
Place the stew meat, tomatoes with chiles, onion and seasoning into an Instant Pot. Make sure the vent is closed and press the automatic meats/stew button. The timer should set automatically to high pressure for 60 seconds.
When done, allow the pressure to go down for 10 minutes before using the quick release method. Stir the pasta into the goulash, coating the noodles and breaking up the meat.
This quick and easy dish is perfect for those days when you walk into the house starving after a long day without any idea of what you are making for dinner.
I'm taking part in the Improv Cooking Challenge......
This Provencal Chicken, marinated in seasoned olive oil and then grilled was one of my personal favorite new poultry recipes.
Venison
OH MY YUM!!!! This venison marinades in red wine for 3 days before it is braised to tender, juicy perfection. I hope somebody gifts me some venison this year because I can't wait to make this again. This French Style Braised Venison Roast was to die for.
Pork
My favorite pork recipe was just published a couple of weeks ago. I made this Pork Wellington for my first Christmas dinner party of 2017.
Seafood
I had a lot of new seafood recipes last year but I finally had to settle on this Lobster Pot Pie that I served as a first course at a dinner party last January.
Meatless Entree
Noodles and Cabbage have long been a favorite around here. I can't believe I had never shared them before this year.
