Easy Goulash Recipe
This classic goulash recipe is a perfect weeknight dinner that’s both easy to make and packed with flavor. With a few simple ingredients like ground beef, elbow macaroni, and a zesty tomato sauce, you can whip up a comforting and hearty meal in no time. Here’s how to make it!
Ingredients:
- 1lb Lochmead Farms 85/15 lean ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14.5oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (15oz) tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 broth (chicken, beef, bone etc.)
- 2 cups your choice noodles (elbow macaroni, penne etc.)
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried oregano/italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 3/4 cup shredded cheese, sour cream, cottage cheese, milk (optional)
Instructions:
1. Cook the Beef
Cook your onion until soft before adding your garlic. After 3-5 minutes add your ground beef to brown over medium heat in a large pot or skillet. If necessary, drain any excess fat once cooked.
2. Add Vegetables
To the cooked beef, add the bell pepper and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften.
3. Stir in Tomatoes and Sauce
Add the canned diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, and water to the pot. Stir to combine, then season with dried basil, italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
4. Add the Pasta
Stir in the elbow macaroni, making sure it’s evenly coated in the sauce. Bring everything to a simmer, cover the pot, and let it cook for about 12-15 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. (Add some milk, sour cream, or cottage cheese for a more creamy taste and texture).
5. Serve and Enjoy
Once the pasta is cooked, remove the pot from the heat. If desired, sprinkle shredded cheese over the top for a melty, cheesy finish. Serve hot and enjoy!
