Calories: 651kcal
Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 large yellow onion diced
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tsp. paprika
- 1 tbsp. italian seasoning
- 1 tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. black pepper
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp. worcestershire
- 2 cups. uncooked elbow pasta
- 2 15 oz. cans diced tomatoes
- 2 15 oz. cans tomato sauce
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 ½ cups shredded monterey jack cheese
Instructions
- In a large skillet or dutch oven, add ground beef and begin to brown over medium heat.
- Once the meat is browned, you can drain off some of the fat that has been rendered. I like to leave just a little bit to saute the onions in and to add flavor.
- Add diced onions and saute until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add minced garlic, along with paprika, italian seasoning, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Add beef broth, worcestershire sauce, canned diced tomatoes, and canned tomato sauce. Stir and allow to simmer for 20 minutes.
- Add dry noodles and cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until pasta is cooked.
- Remove bay leaf and stir in shredded cheese.
- Enjoy!
Notes
Some people prefer to cook their noodles separately and stir the dish together just before serving or serve the goulash on top of noodles like a sauce. This can allow for firmer noodles if you prefer that!
