Easy One-Pot American Goulash - Ultimate Comfort Food

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon oil (estimate)
  • Ground beef (amount not mentioned)
  • Carrots (amount not mentioned)
  • Celery (amount not mentioned)
  • Medium yellow onion (amount not mentioned)
  • Garlic cloves (amount not mentioned)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Dried oregano (amount not mentioned)
  • Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • A little bit of sugar (estimate)
  • Crushed tomatoes (amount not mentioned)
  • Tomato paste (amount not mentioned)
  • Worcestershire sauce (amount not mentioned)
  • Chicken stock (amount not mentioned)
  • Water (as needed)
  • Dry macaroni pasta (amount not mentioned)
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Extra Parmesan for serving (optional)

Steps:

1
Begin by preparing your vegetables: grate carrots for a subtle sweetness and finely chop celery and onion for aroma. These vegetables will practically disappear into the sauce as they cook.
2
Finely chop a few garlic cloves to add a punch of flavor to your sauce. Next, set a large pot or dutch oven over medium-high heat, add oil, and cook the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks.
3
Add all your prepped vegetables (carrots, onions, celery, garlic) to the pot and sauté for about five minutes or until they're softened.
4
Season the mixture with salt, dried oregano, freshly ground black pepper, and a bit of sugar. Then, add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, chicken stock, and water.
5
Stir everything together and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and let simmer for twenty minutes to develop the flavors.
6
Stir in dry macaroni pasta directly into the sauce, making sure to stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cover and continue cooking until the pasta is done, about twenty minutes. Adjust sauce consistency with hot water as needed.
7
Finish by adding freshly grated Parmesan cheese and adjusting the seasoning with salt and pepper. If the goulash seems too thick, add a bit more hot water to reach your desired consistency.
