    @TheCooknShare , Dave my good friend, this is what I have found out so far on ground meat in Canada, the fat listed in these ratios is supposed to be the max amount of fat on the label " name" in Canada for walmart or sam's club, on the label( walmart owns all Sam's clubs) ground beef meats, "Extra" lean= 90/10, lean=83/17, medium=77/23, regular=70/30, now there is a 3 country co-op between Mexico, USA, Canada that this does not apply to , it will say on label that it is from the co-op of those 3 nations, we have it here also , but is not consistent ratios. I called walmart/sam's corporate for Canada. I can check other places that sell it if you give me the names, let me know pal, btw I think extra lean is what you are looking for on most of your recipes as it should only have a max of 10% fat to 90 % beef

    I never add cheese to my goulash, my mom didn't either. I add a little bottled chili sauce to mine, gives it an amazing flavor.
    Also I partially cook my macaroni and always use green bell pepper,, and no water. I let everything except the macaroni cook for about half an hour, then add my partially cooked macaroni and let it cook until macaroni is done.
    It was one of my favorite meals growing up.

    Dave my friend, great kitchen, I miss those days, looks like my Ma & Pa's kitchen even today, except for the retro fridge. Great recipe, 1 poster called it American chop suey, in New England they call it Yankee doodle goulash, I've heard all 3, we call ours the same as yours in Kentucky, very delicious, inexpensive, healthy, & filling, once again, great kitchen & recipe, we have the 2 girls this weekend, don't know what we'll make for supper, they'll decide, they are a little spoiled, lol, You know
