gold goulash recipe

Ingredients
1 pound ground beef (or turkey)
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes (with juice)
1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
2 cups beef broth (or water)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons paprika (smoked or sweet)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 cups elbow macaroni (uncooked)
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice, optional)
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Cook the Meat:
In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Drain excess fat.
Add the diced onion and garlic, cooking until the onion is soft and translucent.
Add Ingredients:
Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Cook the Pasta:
Bring the mixture to a boil. Add the uncooked elbow macaroni, stir, and reduce the heat to a simmer.
Cover and cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and has absorbed some of the liquid.
Add Cheese (Optional):
If using, sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the goulash and cover until melted.
Serve:
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot.
