Here’s a simple and delicious one-pot goulash recipe:Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
- 2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni or pasta of your choice
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional toppings: shredded cheese, chopped parsley
Instructions:
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot with the browned beef. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
- Add the chopped red and green bell peppers to the pot. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the peppers begin to soften.
- Stir in the beef broth, diced tomatoes (with their juices), tomato sauce, uncooked elbow macaroni, paprika, dried oregano, and dried basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked through and tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once the pasta is cooked, taste the goulash and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Serve the one-pot goulash hot, garnished with shredded cheese and chopped parsley if desired.
