Slumgullion (American Goulash)

olive oil

onion

bell pepper (diced)

beef (90%lean)

garlic

beef broth

tomato sauce

tomatoes (don’t drain)

macaroni noodles (uncooked)

Worcestershire Sauce

tbsp Italian Seasoning

paprika

salt

cheddar cheese (shredded)

Pepper

Add olive oil to a large pot, or large skillet, over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onions, bell pepper, and ground beef. Cook until the beef is no longer pink. Add in garlic and stir until fragrant (about 30 seconds).

Pour beef broth, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, uncooked macaroni noodles, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, paprika, and salt. Stir and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent pasta from sticking to the bottom. Cook for 12-15 minutes or until the pasta is al dente.

Once pasta is done, stir in the cheddar cheese. Salt and pepper to taste.

Slumgullion is delicious ground beef simmered in a tomato sauce all day, then elbow macaroni cooked up right in the slow cooker at the end! The perfect weekday dinner for busy families!

Slumgullion

beef

white onion minced (minced)

28 ounces can diced tomatoes

tomato soup

ketchup (more to taste as wanted!)

Italian seasoning

Worcestershire sauce

soy sauce

dry macaroni

Fry the ground beef and onion in a large skillet until cooked completely. Drain any excess fat then add in the garlic, saute until fragrant.

Place the ground beef mixture into the bottom of a slow cooker.

Add in all of the remaining ingredients, except the macaroni. Stir.

Cover and cook on HIGH for 4-5 hours or on LOW for 7-8 hours.

Half an hour before you are ready to eat, add in the macaroni noodles and stir until mixed through.

Cover and cook until the macaroni is soft, stirring once in a while to ensure that the macaroni doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot. If needed, add more beef broth to thin out the sauce at the end.

Remove from heat and serve with cheese sprinkled on top.

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.

American Goulash

garlic (minced)

bell pepper (chopped)

(14 tomato sauce

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

red pepper flakes (optional)

elbow macaroni

bay leaves

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.
