Easy Homemade Goulash Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, chopped
• 2 pounds lean ground beef
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• 3 cups water
• 2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
• 2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons dried Italian herb seasoning
• 1 tablespoon seasoned salt, or to taste
• 3 bay leaves
• 2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni

Instructions

1. Prepare all ingredients before starting.
2. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
3. Add ground beef to the pot and cook, breaking it apart, until evenly browned, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring often.
4. Stir in water, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, soy sauce, Italian seasoning, seasoned salt, and bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover and cook for 5 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time.
5. Stir in uncooked macaroni, cover the pot, and simmer over medium heat until the pasta is tender, approximately 11 to 13 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
6. Remove the goulash from the heat, discard the bay leaves, and serve hot.
