Recipe:
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (the star of the show)
- 1 onion, diced (bring on the tears!)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (because who doesn’t love a little punch?)
- 1 can diced tomatoes (the juicier, the better)
- 1 can tomato sauce (smothered and covered)
- 3 cups beef broth (sounds fancy, right?)
- 2 cups elbow macaroni (the ultimate comfort food)
- 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning (let’s get zesty!)
- Salt and pepper to taste (but don’t overdo it)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (because more is more)
Instructions
In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat, channeling your inner chef as you break apart those clumps. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, stirring until the onions turn translucent and you’re feeling a wave of culinary pride. Who needs a five-star restaurant when you can create this masterpiece in your own kitchen?
Next, toss in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beef broth. Bring it to a simmer, letting those flavors mingle like old friends at a reunion. Stir in the elbow macaroni and let it bubble away for about 15-20 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked to your liking. No one likes mushy pasta, so keep an eye on it!
Finishing Touches
As the pot finishes its symphony of aromas, sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Finally, top it off with a glorious mountain of shredded cheese, and cover the pot for a few minutes to let it melt into gooey perfection. Serve it hot, and watch as everyone dives in, forks poised like they’re at a food Olympics. You’ll be the MVP of dinner tonight!

Step-by-Step Instructions:
First, gather all your ingredients as if you’re summoning culinary spirits from the pantry. Don’t forget to grab:
- 1 lb ground beef (or turkey, if you’re feeling healthy)
- 1 onion, finely chopped (make your eyes cry in style)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (because who doesn’t love a bit of vampire deterrent?)

- 1 can diced tomatoes (like a burst of sunshine in a can)
- 2 cups beef broth (the magical liquid of life!)
- Seasonings (salt, pepper, Italian herbs-let your flavor imagination run wild!)
Now, it’s time to channel your inner master chef. Heat your one pot over medium-high heat and add the ground beef, onion, and garlic. Cook until the beef is browned and the onion looks like it just stepped out of a spa day. Tip: If you like a dramatic flair, give your mixture a good stir and say, “Bon appétit!” to the empty kitchen. Add the diced tomatoes, broth, and seasonings to the pot as if you’re casting a flavor spell. Stir it all together like it’s the world’s weirdest potion.
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Elbow Pasta | 2 cups |
| Ground Beef | 1 lb |
| Italian Herbs | 1 tsp |
Finally, toss in the macaroni and let it simmer like it’s enjoying a day at the beach. Cover the pot and let it bubble away for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid any pasta drama. At the end of the simmering session, your goulash should be as comforting as a warm hug from a favorite blanket. Feel free to sprinkle some cheese on top if you want to take it to a whole new cheesy level-and who doesn’t want that?
Pro-Tips / Chef’s Notes:
Timing is everything! In this culinary masterpiece, your pasta should be al dente, not a soggy noodle disaster. Aim for a cook time of about 8-10 minutes. If you find yourself playing the waiting game, add a splash of broth or water to keep things saucy. Trust us, your taste buds will thank you, and so will your friends-who won’t have to endure soggy bites!
Season like you mean it! Don’t shy away from spices! A sprinkle here and a dash there can transform your goulash from “meh” to “marvelous.” Here’s a tip: try adding a pinch of paprika, or how about a whisper of cayenne for a fiery kick? Remember, cooking is an adventure-so taste as you go! Just no sneaky spoonfuls if you’re not ready for the flavor explosion!

Q: What’s the secret ingredient that makes it special?

Q: How do I serve this goulash?
A: You can serve it straight from the pot as a testament to your adventurous spirit! Or, for a fancier presentation, fancy bowls and a sprinkle of parsley might do the trick. Just remember, it’s still just a goulash; we’re not reinventing the wheel here.
