Savory Goulash

I've only made this a couple of times, but I find that it's pretty well liked. I found an article about goulash on Wikipedia. Apparently it originated in Hungary. This is probably an American version.

Savory Goulash

2 c. uncooked noodles
1/2 lb lean hamburger
1 onion, chopped
2 c. chopped celery
2 c. cooked tomatoes
2 carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 t. salt
dash of pepper

Cook noodles in boiling water. Be sure to undercook them a little. Meanwhile, brown the meat, onion and celery together. Drain noodles and meat well. Add noodles and remaining ingredients to the meat. Cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes.
