I did some reading about the difference between American goulash and Hungarian goulash. Although I remember the phrase, Hungarian goulash thrown around the house, the visual effect of the American style goulash with hamburger and elbow macaroni seems more reminiscent of the meals we had. Hungarian goulash seems to be more of a soup/stew with ingredients that I don't remember. I think Frank may have thrown that name around just because he added beans to the American styled meal.

Mix all ingredients in a sauce, pan medium high heat, constantly stirring until you can do a soft boil test in cold water.
At that point, take it off the heat and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla and drop in 1/2 stick of butter.
