Old Fashioned Goulash

★Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef

1 large onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce

2 (14.5-ounce) cans diced tomatoes, undrained

2 cups water

2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup elbow macaroni, uncooked

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

★Instructions

1. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until it is no longer pink. Break it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
2. Add Onion and Garlic: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes.
3. Add Liquids and Seasonings: Stir in the water, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes (with their juices), Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil.
4. Cook the Pasta: Add the uncooked elbow macaroni to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender.
5. Finish: If desired, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well combined.
6. Serve: Serve hot and enjoy your old fashioned goulash!

Enjoy!
