Old Fashioned Goulash
Description
Old Fashioned Goulash begins by cooking elbow macaroni slightly under usual time to keep it firm. Ground beef is browned with diced onion and minced garlic until fully cooked. Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, and diced tomatoes are added to create a rich, flavorful base that simmers to develop depth.
The cooked pasta is folded into the sauce mixture along with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning, enhancing herbal notes. Combining the components off the heat allows the pasta to finish cooking while absorbing the sauce flavors. The dish offers a balance of tender pasta with hearty beef and a bright tomato sauce lightly seasoned.
Ingredients
- 1 cup elbow macaroni uncooked
- 1 lb ground beef (93% lean or leaner)
- 1 onion diced, large
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 15 oz tomato sauce no salt added
- 14 oz diced tomatoes no salt added
- 1 tsp salt adjust to taste
- 1 tsp black pepper adjust to taste, ground
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Cook the macaroni according to package directions, but shorten the cooking time by 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Preheat a large pan over medium heat until hot. Add in the ground beef, onion, and garlic. Cook for about 10 minutes until the beef reaches 160°F, crumbling the beef as it cooks.
- Add in the Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, and diced tomatoes and stir to combine. Allow the sauce to simmer on medium heat for about 15 minutes.
- Add in the cooked macaroni. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Stir to combine and enjoy!
