1 (12 ounce) package elbow macaroni

Directions

Cook the ground beef and onion into a large skillet over medium heat until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Break the meat apart as it cooks. Drain the excess grease.
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the macaroni, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
Add the macaroni to the the beef and onion and place over medium-low heat; stir in the processed cheese until melted, about 3 minutes. Add the salsa, pinto beans, and corn to the mixture; stir and heat until the mixture bubbles slightly, another 5 minutes.

Very good. Did make a few changes. Used closer to 2# of ground beef, drained with the chopped onion. Didn't drain the corn or the beans. Added a tiny can of diced chilies. Also added about a cup of beef broth. Brought all of that to a boil and then dumped the elbows in uncooked. Let it simmer for 15 min or so and then added the cheese. Mmmm. I actually used the Mexican flavored Velveeta. Gave it a nice kick but still creamy. This way it is a one-pot meal! We enjoyed this very much and will make again!

This dish was wonderful! I had all the neighborhood kids come over to ask for some! I omitted the corn (not a corn lover) and added more cheese. Then I garnished it with sour cream, cheese, guacamole & tomatoes. It's definately wonderful either way. I love it!

This was a quick and easy dish, just what I was looking for tonight. I made one change: instead of salsa and Velveeta, I added 3/4 of a jar of 23oz Tostito's queso dip. My 13 month old ate it up!

I made this for dinner tonight and it was wonderful. I scaled it down to 3 servings and added 2 Tblsp taco seasoning mix only because we like spicy. This is a keeper. I used American cheese only because I didn't have the Velveeta and it was yummy. Served it with a toss salad.

I don't think the name goulash quite fit this dish but it had a nice little kick to it from the salsa and it was a hit with the family. Made lots for leftovers.

This is a great recipe! It is one of the few recipes that my entire family will eat. I don't always keep Velveeta on hand, so I have used cream cheese and a bit of shredded cheddar in place. Still yummy, cheesy and creamy!
