Old-Fashioned Goulash

A warm and comforting one-pot meal featuring ground beef, pasta, and a mix of seasonings.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 cups elbow macaroni
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, place the ground beef. Cook it over medium heat until it is browned. Stir it often to break it apart.
  2. Once the beef is cooked through, drain any extra fat from the pot.
  3. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped bell pepper to the pot. Cook these ingredients until they become softened, usually for about 3 to 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the can of diced tomatoes and the beef broth.
  5. Add the elbow macaroni and the Italian seasoning to the pot. Stir everything to combine well.
  6. Raise the heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
  7. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  8. Taste the goulash and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top before serving, if desired.

Notes

Try adding different vegetables or types of cheese for variations.
