Paula Deen's Goulash
Description
This goulash recipe begins with browning lean ground beef and cooking it with garlic and onions until tender. A mix of tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, water, and seasonings including Italian herbs, bay leaves, soy sauce, and a specially prepared house blend of salt, black pepper, and garlic powder create a layered, savory sauce. Uncooked elbow macaroni is added to the pot to simmer with the sauce and meat, absorbing flavors as it cooks for about 30 minutes.
The dish combines the acidity of tomatoes with the umami from soy sauce and the robust seasoning of herbs and spices, resulting in a comforting, filling meal. The macaroni softens in the sauce but retains its shape, making this a substantial main course.
After cooking, bay leaves are removed before serving. This classic one-pot meal is straightforward to prepare and serves as a satisfying dinner that can be paired with simple sides or a salad for balance.
