Classic Goulash
Description
This Classic Goulash begins with cooking ground beef alongside chopped onions, bell pepper, and garlic until the meat is fully browned and vegetables softened. After draining excess fat, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, herbs, seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce are added, creating a richly seasoned base. The mixture is brought to a boil then gently simmered to meld flavors and develop thickness. Adding dry elbow macaroni to the simmering pot allows the pasta to cook slowly in the sauce, soaking up tomato and beef flavors, resulting in tender macaroni integrated into the savory stew.
The final dish is a thick, meaty tomato-based goulash with soft pasta and aromatic herbs, which can be served on its own or with bread. It functions well as a filling family dinner or easy meal prep option given its one-pot method and familiar ingredients.
