Description
A cozy and hearty goulash recipe that brings warmth and comfort to your table, perfect for family dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
- 1 cup elbow macaroni
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, elbow macaroni, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the macaroni is cooked and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- If desired, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top and cover until melted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Serve hot and enjoy your cozy meal!
Notes
- For a spicier version, add 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes or a chopped jalapeño during the sautéing step.
- To make it vegetarian, substitute the ground beef with 1 can of black beans and use vegetable broth instead of beef broth.
