Down Home Goulash Recipes

Steps:

• Cook and stir the ground beef in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, breaking the meat up as it cooks, until the meat is no longer pink and has started to brown, about 10 minutes. Skim off excess fat, and stir in the onions and garlic. Cook and stir the meat mixture until the onions are translucent, about 10 more minutes.
• Stir water, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, soy sauce, Italian seasoning, bay leaves, and seasoned salt into the meat mixture and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Stir macaroni into the mixture, cover, and simmer over low heat until the pasta is tender, about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, discard bay leaves, and serve.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add the beef and cook, stirring and breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of pepper, the paprika, and Italian seasoning to the beef and stir to combine. Cook, stirring, until the paprika begins to toast and become fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir the tomato paste into the beef mixture to coat, then cook until the paste thickens and deepens in color, about 2 minutes.
• Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, Worcestershire and beef broth to the beef mixture and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot, to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium low and add the cavatappi. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Remove the pot from the heat. Gently stir in the parsley and Cheddar until combined and the cheese starts to melt. Divide the goulash among 6 bowls and top with more shredded Cheddar and chopped parsley.

Steps:

• In a dutch oven brown the meat over medium-high heat. Transfer the meat into a strainer to drain.
• Add onions to the pot and cook until softened. Toss in the garlic and cook until fragrant, 15 to 30 seconds.
• Return the meat to the pot and stir in the broth, tomato sauce, and diced tomato. Add in the Italian seasoning, bay leaves, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and salt and pepper. Taste for seasoning and add more salt and pepper to taste.
• Once it comes to a boil add in the macaroni, stir to combine, and cover, lowering the temperature to a simmer. Continue simmer for 30 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow to rest for 20 to 30 minutes longer. Serve topped with your favorite toppings such as cheese and sour cream.

Steps:

• Fry hamburger, pepper, and onion in large skillet.
• Drain fat if needed (if you're not sure, you can also only cook the macaroni part way so that while simmering the uncooked pasta will soak up excess moisture when added to the mixture).
• Add remaining ingredients and heat well.
• Add macaroni and heat through.
