Goulash American Style My Way Recipes

Steps:

• Start cooking the pasta shells in 3 quarts of boiling water to which a few drops of salad oil and a little salt were added; stir occasionally.
• Cook eleven minutes for well done, drain, don't rinse, set aside.
• Next I browned the onions in some margarine and scraped into small dish to set aside until the meat is browned.
• Turned up the heat and put in the ground beef, started breaking it up with spatula.
• Continued to brown the beef and break up with a little cookie-cutter type chopper with sharp, scalloped teeth (use whatever you prefer as a utensil.
• Brown to me is parts are actually a nice brown, not just stirring around until all the pink is gone; it helps with the flavor.
• When beef was browned to my satisfaction, put the onions back into the skillet with the browned, broken-up beef.
• Added the tomato paste, diced tomatoes and water, stirred on low heat.
• Add the flavor booster and did a taste test because it's salty, just right.
• To avoid over salting,I didn't use any salt except what I boiled the shells in until I added the booster (it's concentrated).
• Add the seasoned salt, seasoned pepper blend, parsley, Worcestershire sauce and cheese.
• If it's too thick, add a little more water; if too watery, cook it down while stirring, doesn't take long.
• Can be eaten right away, baked in oven, frozen, or made a day ahead.
• Add ground pepper to taste when served.

Steps:

• Brown ground beef, onion and pepper.
• Season with garlic salt and pepper.
• Add tomatoes and tomato sauce.
• Simmer 10 minutes while macaroni is cooking.
• Boil macaroni al dente, drain, rinse.
• Return macaroni to pot, add beef and tomato mixture.
• Serve in bowls with shredded cheese.
• Even better left over and reheated (add a little water or tomato juice when reheating, if too dry).

Steps:

• Heat 1/2 tablespoon of the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and caramelized, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Heat the remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons canola oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat and saute the stewing meat until nicely browned. Add the caramelized onions, garlic and caraway seeds. Cook for 1 minute, and then add the paprika, Montreal steak seasoning, onion powder, cayenne powder, salt and pepper. Add the green and red peppers, stir and saute until fragrant, about 2 more minutes.
• Add the tomato puree and tomato paste and stir. Add the vegetable broth and 1/2 cup water, plus more if needed, and deglaze the Dutch oven, making sure to loosen anything stuck to the bottom of the pot.
• Bring to a low simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is very tender, about 90 minutes. Serve over Spaetzle, egg noodles or dumplings.

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:

• Heat oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and ground beef. Cook, breaking the meat into small pieces, until browned, about 5 minutes. Cook and stir until liquid is evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes more. Add garlic, salt, black pepper, cayenne, paprika, Italian seasoning, and bay leaves.
• Cook and stir until flavors come together, about 3 minutes. Pour in chicken broth, diced tomatoes, and marinara sauce. Rinse out the jar with 1 cup water and pour into the pot. Add soy sauce, stir, and bring soup to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium and simmer to let flavors intensify, about 30 minutes.
• Increase heat to medium-high and bring soup to a simmer. Add macaroni; simmer, stirring occasionally, until just barely tender, about 12 minutes. Check for doneness after 10 minutes.
• Remove goulash from heat. Discard bay leaves; stir in parsley and Cheddar cheese. Cover and let rest for 5 minutes. Taste and season as desired.
