Old Fashioned Goulash Beef (Print)

Savory beef, pasta, and cheese combined in a warm tomato sauce for a cozy, satisfying meal.

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 pound elbow macaroni
02 - 2 pounds ground beef
03 - 1 onion, finely chopped
04 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
06 - 2 cans (15 oz each) tomato sauce
07 - 2 cans (14.5 oz each) petite diced tomatoes
08 - 1 1/2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
09 - 2 teaspoons salt
10 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
11 - 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
02 - Bring a large pot of water to boil. Cook macaroni for 3 minutes less than the box directions, then drain.
03 - Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add ground beef and onions to the pan. Break beef apart, cooking for 6-7 minutes until browned. Drain any fat.
04 - Mix in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
05 - Add in Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, and diced tomatoes. Mix until combined.
06 - Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust the seasonings.
07 - Mix in cooked macaroni and cheddar cheese.
08 - If your skillet is heat-safe, place it in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the goulash is bubbly and the cheese is melted. If the skillet is not heat-safe, transfer the goulash to a casserole dish and bake.
