As the fall chill starts to fill the air what better than a bowl of good old fashioned goulash to warm you from the inside out. I think we all have that special meal/meals you remember from childhood: goulash is one of mine.
The cold weather can be a real struggle for me. I am a Michigander originally, but moved away more than half my life ago to warmer weather.
A nice thing about the cooler weather is being able to enjoy comfort foods like these and snuggles on the couch. This simple recipe can be ready in about 35 minutes.
Here is another great choice Homemade Beef Enchiladas.
Ingredients
- Ground beef
- yellow onion
- garlic
- salt
- pepper
- Italian seasoning
- cumin
- paprika
- Worcestershire sauce
- beef broth
- tomato paste
- tomato sauce
- diced tomatoes
- bell pepper
- elbow macaroni
- shredded cheddar cheese
- (garnish-parsley, sour cream, cheese, etc.)
How-to-Make
First I throw my ground beef, onions, peppers, and garlic into a frying pan over medium heat and sauté the veggies while browning my ground beef. In the meantime, I start boiling the water in a pot and add the elbow macaroni and cook until tender.
Once the noodles are tender drain and rinse with cool water to stop the cooking process and place back into the pot. Drain the fat off the beef and veggies and toss in the pot with the noodles.
Now add the beef broth, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, and tomato sauce. Turn the heat on low, mix well and add in the seasonings salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, Italian seasoning and Worcestershire sauce.
Simmer for a few minutes while you grab out some bowls and sit aside your garnishment options: sour cream, shredded cheddar, or shredded cheese of your preference, parsley, Frito scoops, etc.
