How to make Easy American Hamburger Goulash
Step 1: Following the package directions, cook the macaroni. When done, drain and set aside.
Step 2: While the macaroni is cooking, heat oil in a large skillet or dutch oven over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the ground beef, onion, and pepper into the skillet and cook for about 5 to 8 minutes or until the beef is brown and the veggies have softened. Make sure to stir and break the meat up into small chunks as it cooks.
Step 3: Now, add the tomatoes along with the tomato soup, cinnamon, and sugar. Stir well and let the mixture simmer until thoroughly heated.
Step 4: Add the drained macaroni and stir until evenly coated. Or you can stir everything in a pasta pan if your skillet is not big enough. To taste, season with salt and pepper.
Notes:
I like my goulash saucy so I used two cans of diced tomatoes but if you don’t, just use 1 can.
For this recipe, you can use any small to medium pasta shape.
Feel free to add a cup of drained corn and 1 to 2 tbsp chilli powder when adding the tomatoes for that spicy southwest vibe.
