MawMaw's Goulash

 My brother and three cousins spent our summer days with our grand mother, who we called MawMaw, while our parents worked when we were children.  Her home sat  right in between my house and my cousin's house.  We could walk over to her house when we got up in the morning.   

MawMaw knew how to cook for young children and adults.  She was the oldest of 8 children whose mother died when she was just 14.  She learned how to cook at a young age.  One of our favorite childhood lunches was her Goulash.  I looked up the definition of Goulash and found this definition at answers.com:    A stew of beef or veal and vegetables, seasoned mainly with paprika. A mixture of many different elements; a hodgepodge. MawMaw's recipe does not have veal or paprika as the definition suggests but it is definitely a hodgepodge.  I hope you enjoy it. 

Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 onion chopped
1 can kidney beans
1 can tomato soup
2 tsp chili powder
1 can franco american spaghetti with cheese and tomato sauce and meatballs
salt and pepper to taste

Brown the ground beef and onions, drain off the grease.  Add the remaining ingredients and cook for thirty minutes on low.
