Old-fashioned Goulash

Cooking the ingredients at a lower temperature for a longer time lets the flavors meld and tenderize the meat. The tender veggies and flavorful meat drowned in sauce create the perfect combination of textures and flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion chopped (white or yellow onion)
  • 1 green pepper chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 14.5 ounces can diced tomatoes not drained
  • 1 pound elbow macaroni

Instructions

  1. Prepare the elbow macaroni following the instructions on the label. Make sure not to overcook your pasta; otherwise, it will be mushy. 
  2. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. 
  3. Cook the ground beef for 3 minutes. At this point, it doesn’t have to be cooked thoroughly, as you will see that some pieces are still pink. 
  4. Drain the grease and add green pepper, chopped onions, and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes and stir frequently. 
  5. Add the Worcestershire sauce, basil, oregano, parsley, and salt. Mix and cook for 3 more minutes.
  6.  Add the diced tomatoes together with the juice from the can. Reduce the heat and cook covered for 10 minutes.
  7. Add the cooked pasta and mix to incorporate. 
  8. Cook for 3 more minutes, and your goulash is ready to be enjoyed.
