सामग्री

1 lb ground beef

1 large onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 green bell pepper, chopped

1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce

1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes

1 1/2 cups beef broth or water

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 1/2 cups elbow macaroni, uncooked

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

निर्देश

Cook the Beef:

In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.

Add Vegetables:

Add the chopped onion, garlic, and green bell pepper to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.

Stir in the Sauce:

Add the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes (with their juice), beef broth, soy sauce, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

Simmer:

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Cook the Pasta:

Stir in the uncooked elbow macaroni, ensuring it is well submerged in the liquid. Cover and simmer for another 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender.

Optional Cheese Topping:

If you like, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top and cover the pot again for a few minutes, allowing the cheese to melt.

Serve:

Serve the goulash hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
