What is Goulash?
Goulash is a hearty dish of stewed beef and tomatoes that was first developed in
Hungary. It typically doesn’t even have pasta in it but this American version does and cooks
right in the sauce making it an easy complete meal. It tastes similar to lasagna but without the
ricotta cheese. I love it because it’s basically a 1:1 ratio of meaty red sauce with noodles. The
more beefy sauce, the better!

You’ll start out by browning your ground beef in a large stock pot. Work it into crumbles as it
browns. Using a potato masher to crumble the meat works like a charm. Once it’s browned, remove it and
drain it but leave a tablespoon or two of grease in the pan to cook the onions.

How to make American Goulash:

You’ll start out by browning your ground beef in a large stock pot. Work it into crumbles
as it browns. Using a potato masher to crumble the meat works like a charm. Once it’s browned,
remove it and drain it but leave a tablespoon or two of grease in the pan to cook the onions.

Cook your onions in the beef grease over medium heat until soft and then add in the
garlic and cook for just a minute before adding the meat back in along with everything but the
pasta and cheese. I prefer to use one can petite diced tomatoes because they’re smaller (less
noticeable to my kids) but if you don’t have that on hand regular diced work too.
INGREDIENTS

 2 pounds ground beef

 1 large onion diced
 4 cloves garlic minced

 2 15 ounce cans tomato sauce
 2 15 ounce cans diced tomatoes (one petite diced)
 3 bay leaves
 3 tablespoons soy sauce
 1 tablespoon Seasoned salt

 2 teaspoons paprika
 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
 2 cups elbow macaroni noodles uncooked

INSTRUCTIONS/PROCEDURE

1. Brown ground beef in a large stock pot. Remove from pan and drain. Leave about 1-
2 tablespoons grease in pan. Add the diced onion and cook for about 5 minutes over
medium heat until tender. Add the garlic and cook another minute.
 2. Return ground beef to pot along with the water, beef base, cans of tomatoes and

pepper. Stir together, bring to a boil, cover, reduce to low and let simmer for 20

occasionally to prevent noodles from sticking to the bottom.
