This Paula Deen's Goulash Recipe is a comfort food classic! It takes about 30 minutes to make and has hearty ground beef and tender pasta with tomato sauce.
Brown the ground beef in a Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add garlic, onions to the pot and cook for five minutes.
In a pot with 3 cups of water, add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, bay leaves, Italian seasoning, salt, and soy sauce.
Cover and boil elbow macaroni for 30 minutes.
Remove the bay leaves and turn off the heat before serving the goulash.
Tips
Add your favourite vegetables to the basic ingredients to make Paula deen beef goulash even better. Add corn, beans, carrots, peas, zucchini, spinach, and mushrooms.
You can replace ground beef with other meats. Turkey is great for dieters.
It's easy to overcook pasta when creating a single-dish meal. Consider using a separate pot to boil the macaroni and avoid overcooking.
Cheese makes everything better, especially meat and tomato sauce. Add lots of cheddar cheese to your goulash to make it tastier.
Adding paprika will enhance the meat's natural flavour. Deglaze it with some red wine if you like.
Use egg noodles instead of macaroni for a different taste and texture.
