beef (~85 to 95% lean)

ground sausage* (or another ground protein if desired)

elbow macaroni (or another small shaped pasta)

small white or yellow onion (diced small)

green pepper

garlic (finely minced)

tomatoes

marinara or tomato sauce

beef broth (I use reduced sodium)

soy sauce (I use reduced sodium)

Italian seasoning

salt (or as desired)

black pepper

To a very large deep-sided pot or Dutch oven, add the ground beef, ground sausage or whatever combination of proteins you&#x27;re using, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring and crumbling the proteins as the cook to ensure cooking. If necessary or desired, drain off any fat. I don&#x27;t drain it even if I have some because the fat will prevent the pasta from sticking. Tip -  Begin cooking the pasta while the proteins are cooking.

While the proteins are browning, cook the pasta in a separate pot according to package directions. Drain and set aside until step 6.

To the Dutch oven with the browned proteins, add the onions, green peppers, and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until beginning to soften; stir frequently.

Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute or until fragrant; stir constantly.

Add the diced tomatoes, marinara, beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, stir to combine, and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.

Add the cooked pasta and stir to combine.

Optionally garish with parsley and serve. Leftover goulash will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months. It reheats very well in the microwave.

This American Goulash recipe is pure nostalgic comfort food with ground beef and macaroni in a flavorful tomato based sauce.

Easy One-Pot American Goulash - Ultimate Comfort Food

This easy American goulash is a one pot meal that&#039;s inexpensive to make and incredibly comforting! It has tender ground beef and macaroni simmered in a perfectly seasoned tomato sauce.

onion

garlic (minced)

bell pepper (chopped)

(14 tomato sauce

(14 fluid ounce) can diced tomatoes (with juices)

paprika

red pepper flakes (optional)

elbow macaroni

Salt & pepper (to taste)

cheddar (optional)

Add the oil, beef, onion, and garlic to a soup pot over medium-high heat and cook, breaking the beef up with your spoon as you go along, for about 8 minutes or until browned. If there&#39;s a lot of excess fat, spoon most of it out.

Add the chopped bell pepper, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, broth, Italian seasoning, paprika, and red pepper flakes to the pot. Bring it to a boil over high heat.

Stir in the macaroni and bay leaves. Reduce the heat to a rapid simmer so it&#39;s still boiling, but not too crazy (I used medium heat). Cook, uncovered, for 12 minutes, stirring occasionally so the pasta doesn&#39;t stick to the bottom of the pot.

Take the pot off the heat and stir in the cheddar. Cover the pot and let it sit for about 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the pasta has finished cooking. Season with salt &amp; pepper as needed and enjoy immediately.

This was so good!!  My husband periodically comes up with these random cravings (“I haven’t had scalloped potatoes in ages”, “I’d like Cornish game hens and glazed carrots “, “we should have goulash this weekend “) which keeps me on my culinary toes 😂. I was so happy to find your recipe ( as I’ve never made goulash before) - it was really delicious, and so easy!! The only change I made was to use smoked paprika since we like things spicy.  Everyone loved it, and it will definitely go into the rotation.  Thank you so much Natasha! ❤️

Very simple and quick meal....we loved it. Made it exactly as is. Delicious with fresh bread and a salad

First time making this, so easy and delicious! And I had all the ingredients on hand! Just the right amount of seasoning. A simple, comforting dish. My only additions were 1 tbs of Worcestershire sauce and about 3/4 cup of frozen corn. Shredded cheese was a must. We added it to our bowls separately along with some sour cream. Thank you for your recipe. It was a hit!

I made this tonight, it's delicious! There's none left! I didn't have any bell peppers so I used a poblano with all the seeds removed so it wasn't spicy.
