German Goulash Recipe

The dish blends hearty beef flavors with savory and tangy tomato and olive notes, finished with creamy cheese binding the pasta and meat.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1 lb. ground beef lean
- 1 yellow onion diced, medium
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 celery diced, stalks
- 2 tsp. oregano
- 1 tsp. black pepper freshly ground
- 1 tsp. seasoned salt such as Lawry's
- 1/4 c. red wine
- 2 fire-roasted tomatoes 15 oz cans
- 1 black olives 2.25 oz can, sliced
- 1.5 cups cheddar cheese cubed
- 1.5 cups macaroni noodles uncooked
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a very large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, onion, garlic, and celery, and cook until the ground beef is cooked through. Add the red wine and use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pan to release any stuck-on pieces.
- Season with oregano, black pepper, and seasoned salt, then add the two cans of tomatoes and the sliced olives. Turn the heat to low and let simmer for fifteen minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the macaroni noodles in a pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
- Add the cheese to the skillet and let it melt for a few minutes. Add the drained noodles and toss to combine. Let simmer for an additional five minutes, then serve hot.
Notes
- Keep leftovers airtight in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freeze goulash for up to 3 months; thaw overnight before reheating.
- Reheat in microwave or on stove, stirring occasionally for even warming.
