Description
A hearty and cheesy goulash with ground beef, elbow macaroni, and flavorful seasonings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound elbow macaroni
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 onion (finely chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 15 oz cans tomato sauce
- 2 14 oz cans petit diced tomatoes
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Bring a large pot of water to boil. Cook macaroni for 3 minutes less than the box directions, then drain.
- Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add ground beef and onions to the pan. Break beef apart, cooking for 6-7 minutes until browned. Drain any fat.
- Mix in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add in Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, and diced tomatoes. Mix until combined.
- Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust the seasonings.
- Mix in cooked macaroni and cheddar cheese. If your skillet is heat-safe, you can place in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the goulash is bubbly and the cheese is melted. If the skillet is not heat-safe, transfer the goulash to a casserole dish and bake.
Notes
- Goulash is best served hot and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for extra flavor.
