Grandma's Goulash
Goulash is a hearty, Hungarian meal. Packed with ground beef and veggies.
Ingredients
- 1 onion diced
- 3 carrots chopped sliced, then cut into half rounds
- 1 green pepper (fresh or frozen) chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 lb ground beef
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 2-4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 6 oz jar tomato paste
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary or thyme or both
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 pound elbow macaroni, rigatoni, or barley
Instructions
- Warm the olive oil over medium heat in a large pan or soup pot until it shimmers.
- Cook the onion, carrots, and pepper for 5-7 minutes until the onions start to soften.
- Add in the ground beef and garlic and cook until the beef is browned.
- Add diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and spices and stir to mix and heat through.
- Add the chicken broth (2-4 cups depending on how much pasta or barley you have) and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a simmer.
- Add pasta or barley and cook until the liquid is mostly soaked up and the pasta/barley is cooked and the vegetables are soft, about 10-15 minutes. You may have to add more broth or water if it gets too dry and the pasta is not yet cooked.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
